Question

Find three consecutive numbers whose sum is 99. i will give you rewards.

Answer 1

If your first number is \(x\), what would be an expression for the second number?

Answer 2

it will be \[x+2\]

Answer 3

So, do you count 1,3,5,7? Or 1,2,3,4?

First number is \(x\), second number is \(x+1\), third number is \(x+2\)

You know that the sum of the 3 numbers is 99, so

\[(x) + (x+1) + (x+2) = 99\]
Simplify that and solve for \(x\), which is your first number. Write down the next two numbers and you have your answer.
