You can put this solution on YOUR website! The sum of 3consecutive whole numbers is 168.let the first number be x.form an equationand hence find the 3 numbers
------
Let the consecutive whole numbers be: x-1,x, and x+1
-------------------------------------------------
Since (x-1)+x+(x+1) = 168
------
x = 168-[(x+1)+(x+2)]
----
x = 168-x-1-x-2
3x = 165
x = 53
-----
The numbers:
x-1 = 52
x = 53
x+1 = 54
