Answer:

The three consecutive numbers cannot be 4, 5, and 6 because, the result will be 36 ≠ 18, which is indeterminate

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The three consecutive positive numbers Chloe is trying to find are x, x+1, x + 2

The conditions of the three positive numbers are;

6 × (x + 2) = 2 × (x + x + 1)

We check if the three consecutive numbers can be 4, 5, and 6 by substituting the values as follows;

x + 2 = 6

x + 1 = 5

x = 4

Which gives;

6 × (6) ≠ 2 × (4 + 5)

36 ≠ 18

Therefore, the three consecutive numbers cannot be 4, 5, and 6
