Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smallest integer be x. Since the integers are consecutive, the other two integers would be x+1 and x+2 respectively. It is given in the problem that the sum of these integers is equal to 18. Therefore, the consecutive numbers are 5,6 and 7.

Let the smallest integer be x. Since the integers are consecutive, the other two integers would be x+1 and x+2 respectively. It is given in the problem that the sum of these integers is equal to 18. Therefore, the consecutive numbers are 5,6 and 7

The three consecutive numbers are 5, 6 and 7 (5+6=11, 11+7=18) . That implies that 7 is the greatest among the three

Let x, x+1 and x+2 be the three consecutive numbers

(x)+ (x+1) + (x+3) = 18

3x+3=18

3x=18−3

3x=15

x=5

thus ,

second number is x=1

Ans 6
