解答ステップ

Represent the numbers with

x

First number : x

Consecutive number 1 : x + 1

Consecutive number 2 : x + 2

Consecutive number 3 : x + 3

A.T.Q.:

x + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3 = 6

解く

x + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3 = 6 : x = 0

x + 1 = 0 + 1 = 1

x + 2 = 0 + 2 = 2

x + 3 = 0 + 3 = 3

Select the smallest solution:

0

The smallest number : 0
