Answer 2

Answer:

let the first number be x

so the second number = x+1

the third number = x+2

the sum of three consecutive number = 48

according to the question

x+x+1+x+2 = 48

3x+3 = 48

3x = 48-3

x =45/3

x =15

so,first number = x

= 16

second number = x+1

= 15+1

= 16

third number = x+2

= 15+2

= 17
