Question

The sum of three consecutive numbers is ninety - three

What is the smallest of the three numbers ?

Answer 1

Answer: 30

Explanation:

Let the middle number = x. Then the three consecutive numbers are x - 1, x, and x + 1.

Therefore, x - 1 + x + x + 1 = 93

3x = 93

x = 31.

The smallest of the 3 numbers is x - 1 = 31 - 1 = 30
