Let x,y,z be those numbers.
x+y+z = 12
Since x,y,z are consecutive: y=x+1, and z = x+2
Let's replace y and z by their new values:
x+x+1+x+2=12
3x+3=12
You subtract 3 from each side to get variables on a side, and numbers on the other:
3x=9
You divide both sides by 3:
x=3

y=x+1 = 3+1 = 4
z=x+2 = 3+2 = 5

So the numbers are 3; 4 and 5.

You can re-check your answers (very important):
3+4+5 = 12
3;4;5 are consecutive numbers.
The answer has been approved.

Hope this Helps! :)

But if the roles are reversed the the Seventh graders should earn the 50 points.

There is not a full answer to what I am saying but from speculation you should be able to decide..
