==>>let those no's be,,, x-1, x , x+1==(1)
the given condition is,,,,
there sum,, i.e,
x - 1 + x + x +1 = 3x..
45< 3x,,,
SIMILARLY ,,,
3x<54..
according to the equation..
45<3x.
x > 15,,
x = 15..
then the consecutive no's be,, put x value in eq 1.
14 , 15 ,16..

Answer:
The numbers are 15, 16 and 17 or 16, 17 and 18.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the whole numbers be x - 1, x and x + 1
We have been given that the sum of the numbers is more than 45 but less than 54.
According to question:-
( x - 1 ) + (x) + ( x + 1 ) > 45
3x > 45
x >
x > 15 .... (1)
( x - 1 ) + (x) + ( x + 1 ) > 45
3x > 54
x <
x < 18 ...(2)
From (1) and (2) we can say that x is either 16 or 17 :-
If x is 16
Then the numbers would be 15, 16 and 17
Their sum is 48, which satisfies the conditions.
If x is 17 :-
Then the numbers would be 16, 17 and 18
Their sum is 51, which satisfies the conditions too !
