One number be x
x+(x+1)+(x+2)=63
x+x+1+x+2=63
3x+3=63
3x=63-3
3x=60
x=60:3
x=20
smallest number = x=20
middle <span>number = x+1= 20+1=21
</span>largest<span><span><span> number = x+2</span> =20+2= 22</span>
</span>
1) (12p-3)(12p-3)
=144p^2-36p+36p+9
=144p^2+9 (-36+36=0 so it cancels out)
I’m not sure I understand your question
