41 + 42 + 43 = 126 for the check. I'm available for online tutoring if needed. The result is the same. The 3 numbers are 41, 42, and 43.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The highest number is 43.

If X, Y and Z are the 3 consecutive numbers, with X as least and Z as highest, then X+Y+Z=126.

Then, Y = X+1 and Z=X+2

Therefore, X+X+1+X+2=126 and 3X = 123

This, X=41, Y=42 and Z=43.
