x x+1 x+2
...
x+x+1+x+2=170
3x + 3 = 170
3x = 170 - 3
3x = 167
x = 167%2F3
...
167%2F3+%2B+1+=+167%2F3+%2B+3%2F3+=+170%2F3
167%2F3+%2B+2+=+%28167%2F3%29%282%2F2%29+%2B+2%286%2F6%29+=+334%2F6+=+12%2F6+=+346%2F6
...
The 3 consecutive numbers are:
%28167%2F3%29, 170%2F3, and 173%2F3
55.6667, 56.6667, and 57.6667
