The sum of three consecutive numbers is 72. what are the three numbers?

The answer would be 23 + 24 + 25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since consecutive numbers are numbers that come after one another such as n +1, n+2, it becomes easier to find once the pattern is explained. In order to achieve this answer, there must be numbers that would be at least somewhat close to 1/3 of 72. by simply adding different numbers according to the 1/3 rule, it gets you to your answer a lot quicker.

Step-by-step explanation:

so we need 3 consecutive numbers...thats one right after the otherso let the 3 numbers be : x and x + 1 and x + 2

and they add up to 72...

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 72...combine like terms

3x + 3 = 72 ...subtract 3 from both sides

3x = 72 - 3

3x = 69 ... divide both sides by 3

x = 69/3

x = 23

x + 1 = 23 + 1 = 24

x + 2 = 23 + 2 = 25

check it...

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 72

23 + 24 + 25 = 72

72 = 72 (correct)...it checks out

so ur numbers are 23,24,25

answer: add the !

step-by-step explanation: then we will answer

in if you ask questions, the points are taken from your total and given to the one who answered it..

so if i have 30 points and i ask a question for 5 points, then when someone asks a question i will lose 5 points and the answerer earns 5
