Plzzzz mark as brainliest
Let the smallest of three consecutive number be x, thus other two consecutive numbers be x + 1 and x + 2.
As per the statement, sum of these three consecutive numbers is 51. As such
x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 51
3x + 3 = 51
3x = 51 - 3
3x = 48
x = 48/3
x= 16
The smallest of three consecutive number is 16. Other two numbers are
x + 1 = 16 + 1 = 17
x + 2 = 16 + 2 = 18
Thus three consecutive numbers are 16, 17 and 18
Answer three consecutive numbers are 16, 17 and 18
