Find threee consecutive numbers whose sum is 99

Please show work

Answer 1

33?

Answer 2

Wait nvm

Answer 3

please show how you got that

Answer 4

Well lets let the first number = x

So the second number will be x + 1

and the third will be x + 2

(since consecutive means one after the other)

So if the sum = 99...we have

\[\large x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 99\]

can you solve for 'x'?
