For this problem your equation will be x+(x+1)+(x+2)=537

Multiply and Simplify:

x+x+1+x+2=537

3x+3=537

Subtract 3 from both sides:

3x+3-3=537-3

3x=534

Divide both sides by 3:

3x/3=537/3

x=179

179 is the middle number so: 178+179+180=537

180 is the third number.

The 3rd number is 180.

Given that,

  • The sum of three consecutive numbers is 537.
  • Here the three consecutive numbers be x, x + 1, and x + 2.

Based on the above information, the calculation is as follows:

x+(x+1)+(x+2)=537

x+x+1+x+2=537

3x+3=537

3x = 537 - 3

3x = 534

x = 178

Now the third no is

= 178 +  2

= 180

Therefore we can conclude that the 3rd number is 180.
