Answer:
First paragraph of being a bit of an error on ep of being a bit more than
Area of a triangle=1/2(base x height)
Area=72, Base=8, Height=2x-3
Plug it in.
72=1/2(8 x (2x-3))
72=1/2(16x-24)
72=8x-12
84=8x
x=10.5
N+(n+2)+(n+4)=165
add everything together to get
3n+6=165
Subtract 6 from each side
3n=159
divide by 3
n=53
the numbers are 53,55,57
