Add the two, to get it to the other side. Leaving s by itself and it would end up being. 4 >s. With the line under >

Define x :
-----------------------------------------
Let the smallest number be x.
The other two numbers will be x + 1 and x + 2.
-----------------------------------------
Construct Equation :
-----------------------------------------
Sum of these numbers is 72
⇒ x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 72
-----------------------------------------
Solve for x :
-----------------------------------------
x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 72
3x + 3 = 72
3x = 69
x = 23
-----------------------------------------
Find the numbers :
-----------------------------------------
1st number = x = 23
2nd number = x + 1 = 23 + 1 = 24
3rd number = x + 2 = 23 + 2 = 25
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer : The numbers are 23, 24 and 25.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The answer would be A. Commutative property of addition
F(19)= (3/(19+2)) - sqrt(19-3)
= (3/21) - sqrt(16)
= (1/7) - 4
= (1/7) - (28/7)
= -27/7
= - 3 6/7
143.17 times 1.35 = 193.28
