Answer 1

can you think of 3 consecutive numbers?

Answer 2

1 2 and 3

Answer 3

37 + 38 + 39. There's an algebraic way to solve this but it's too much work, so you're better off just guessing and checking

Answer 4

hmmm I see 1 is the first one..
how did you get the 2nd one? number 2?
and how did you get the 3rd one, number 3?

Answer 5

n + (n+1) + (n+2) = 114
3n + 3 = 114
3n = 111
n = 37.

Answer 6

Then plug 37 into n+1 and n+2 and voila

Answer 7

ridoleor, I would make x the middle number, that would be easier to solve.
