Question

Сумма 3 последовательных натуральных чисел равна 993. найдите эти числа

Answer 1

(x-1) + x + (x+1)=993
3x=993
x=331
x-1=330
x+1=332
ответ: 330; 331, 332

Answer 2

Let's represent the three consecutive natural numbers as "n", "n+1", and "n+2". According to the problem, their sum is 993:

n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) = 993

Now, let's solve this equation step-by-step:

3n + 3 = 993 (Combine like terms) 3n = 993 - 3 (Subtract 3 from both sides) 3n = 990 (Simplify) n = 990 / 3 (Divide both sides by 3) n = 330

So, the first natural number (n) is 330. The other two consecutive numbers are:

n + 1 = 330 + 1 = 331 n + 2 = 330 + 2 = 332

Therefore, the three consecutive natural numbers whose sum is 993 are 330, 331, and 332.
