Question

The sum of three consecutive numbers is 84. What is the largest of these numbers?= 26?

Answer 1

If the largest is 26, then the 3 numbers are 24,25,26

add them: 24+25+26 = 75 which is not 84 like we want

Answer 2

x = first number
x+1 = second number
x+2 = third number


add them up and you force that sum to be 84

x + (x+1) + (x+2) = 84

solve for x and then compute x+2 to get your answer

Answer 3

26,27,28,29 are the choices

Answer 4

3x=84
x=28

Answer 5

so i would be 26...28...30 smallest would be 26?

Answer 6

you should have 3x+3 = 84

Answer 7

27

Answer 8

yes, x = 27 making x+2 = 29

Answer 9

largest is 29

Answer 10

29-2=27?

Answer 11

yeah so the answer is 29

Answer 12

27+28+29 = 84
