This is the word question: The sum of three consecutive numbers is 54. Find the three numbers.Thank you for your time.

Let middle number of three consecutive numbers be x
Then the previous and the next would be x-1 & x+1
As sum of three consecutive numbers is 54, therefore
(x-1) + x + (x+1) = 54
3x = 54 so x = 18
Ans : three consecutive numbers are 17, 18, 19
