Answer:

Let the numbers be (x-1), x and (x+1)

According to the above problem,

$(x - 1) + x + (x + 1) = 87 \\ 3x = 87 \\ \boxed{x = 29}$

Therefore, the numbers are 28, 29 and 30.

Answer:

General Equation of a Line

$General Equation \\(y - y_{1} )= m (x-x_{1}) \\Slope=m= \frac{x_{2}-x_{1} }{y_{2}-y_{1} } \\\\Given:\\p_{1}=(7,-4)\\p_{2}=(-1,2)\\Solution:\\m=(\frac{-1-7}{2-(-4)}) =\frac{-8}{6}\\y-(-4) = (\frac{-8}{6} )(x-7)\\y+4=\frac{-8x}{6} + 56\\y=\frac{-8x}{6} + 52 \\\\The\\ equation \\ is \\ y=\frac{-8x}{6} + 52$
