Question

The sum of three consecutive natural numbers is 2013, find the numbers.

Answer 1

The series of Consecutive Numbers is:

The first number: x

The next number: x+1

And the last one: x+2

* Then, how is a Sum, pose the Ecuation:

         (x) + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 2013

* Group the Similar Terms

         3x + 3 = 2013

                3x = 2013 - 3

                  x = 2010 / 3

                  x = 670

* Which means that your first term is: 670

* LET´S CHECK

           670 + 671 + 672 = 2013
