Answer:

[tex]let \: the \: smallest \: number \: be \: x \\ the \: three \: numbers \: will \: be \: x \: \: \: x + 1 \: \: \: x + 2. \\ from \: given \: condition \\ x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 51 \\ 3x + 3 = 51 \\ 3x = 51 - 3 \\ 3x = 48 \\ x = 48 \div 3 \\ x = 16 \\ therefore the three numbers are

x= 16

x+1= 17

x+2=18
