Question 314850
Hello, 
Let's have x be one number and x+1 be the next and x+2 be the third. Now we can set up the following equation:
x(x+1)=(x+2)^2-28 (Hint: the word "is" in word problems means "equal" usually)
x^2+x=x^2+4x+4-28 Subtract x^2 from both sides and subtract 4x to get:
-3x=-24 Divide -3 into both sides to get:
x=8
So our numbers are 8,9,10
Make sense?
