Q:

Three friends were born in consecutive years. The some of their birth years is 5982.find the year in which each person was born

Accepted Solution

A:
Because the three numbers are consecutive, if the first one is x, the second should be x+1, and the third one is x+2
the three numbers add up to be 5982, so
x+(x+1)+(x+2)=5982
3x+3=5982
3x=5979
x=1993
1993,1994,1995
