Answer:

23

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose,

the first number = x

the second number = x+1

the third number = x+1+1 = x+2

Question wise,

x+x+1+x+2 = 72

3x+3 = 72

3x = 72-3 = 69

x = 69/3 = 23

so the numbers are,

23,(23+1)=24 and (23+2)=25

Consider the following equation, bh+hr=25 when solving for r
Komok [63]
Solve for r.

You want to get r by itself on one side on the equal sign.

bh + hr = 25

Subtract bh from both sides.

hr = 25 - bh

Divide h on both sides.

r = 25 - bh / h

The two h's cancel each other out.

r = 25 - b

Hope this helps!

Let's solve for x ~

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:4x - 16 = 64

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:4(x - 4) = 64

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:(x - 4) = 64 \div 4

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:x - 4 = 16

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:x  = 16 + 4

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:x  =20
