First divide 150 by 5 to get the sum of that 3 numbers
:
150/5 = 30
:
Now divide 30 by 3 to get the middle number of that three numbers
:
30/3 = 10
:
So ten is the second number and 10-1 which is 9 is the first number and 10+1 which is 11 is the third number
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The three numbers are 9, 10, and 11
