Define x:
Let the first number be x.
1st number = x
2nd number = x + 1
3rd number = x + 2

The sum is 81:
x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 81
x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 81
3x + 3 = 81
3x = 78
x = 26

Find the numbers:
1st number = x = 26
2nd number = x + 1 = 26 + 1 = 27
3rd number = x + 2 = 26 + 2 = 28

You may have misread the question. The question asked for 3 consecutive numbers, not 3 consecutive prime numbers.
