Answer:
The third number is 15.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the three consecutive natural numbers be
x , x + 1 , x + 2
here x is smallest number and
x + 2 is the greatest number
Condition given:
5x = 3(x + 2) + 20
5x = 3x + 6 + 20
5x - 3x = 26
2x = 26
x = 13
Therefore third number = x + 2 = 13 + 2 = 15
Hence the answer is 15.
