Replace x = 3 into <span>6/x + 2x^2
</span>6/x + 2x^2
=6/3 + 2 (3)^2
= 2 + 2(9)
= 2 + 18
= 20
3 consecutive numbers....x, x + 1 and x + 2
x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 72
3x + 3 = 72
3x = 72 - 3
3x = 69
x = 69/3
x = 23
x + 1 = 23 + 1 = 24
x + 2 = 23 + 2 = 25
so ur numbers are 23,24,25 with 25 being the largest
