Question

The sum of 3 consecutive

Answer 1

The three numbers are 52, 53, 54.

52+53=105 105+54=159

Answer 2

Answer:

52, 53, 54

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the 3 numbers, we first use the equation x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 159.

Step 1: Combine like terms.

• $(x+x+x)+(1+2)=159$
• $3x + 3 = 159$

Step 2: Subtract 3 from both sides.

• $3x + 3 - 3 = 159 - 3$
• $3x = 156$

Step 3: Divide both sides by 3.

• $3x/3 = 156/3$
• $x = 52$

Step 4: Plug in 52 back into the equation.

• $(52) + (52+1) + (52+2) = 159$
• $52+53+54=159$
• $105 + 54 = 159$
• $159$

Therefore, the numbers are 52, 53, and 54.
