Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution,

Let,

The three consecutive numbers be x, x+1 and x+2.

According to the question,

x + (x+1) + (x+2) = 36

or, x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 36

or, 3x + 3 = 36

or, 3x = 36 - 3 (taking 3 on another side makes it negative)

or, 3x = 33

or, x = 33

3

Thus, x = 11

Then,

x = 11

x + 1 = 11 + 1 = 12

x + 2 = 11 + 2 = 13

This the three consecutive numbers are 11, 12 and 13.
