Answer 2

Hello!!

Here is your answer :

Let one number be x.

Then, other number be x + 2 and x + 4.

According to question,

$x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 165$

$3x + 6 = 165$


$3x = 165 - 6$


$3x = 159$

$\\ x = \frac{159}{3}$


$x = 53$


One number = 53

Other number = 55 and 57.


Hope it helps :-)
