The sum of three consecutive natural numbers is 18. What is the smallest of the three numbers?
Given:
Sum of three consecutive natural numbers = 18
Solution:
Let the three consecutive natural numbers be x, x + 1, and x + 2.
According to the question:
x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 18
3x + 3 = 18
3x = 18 - 3
3x = 15
x =
x = 5
The smallest number is x, which is 5.
