You probably want to know "What are the 3 consecutive whole numbers whose sum is 72 ?" They are 23, 24, and 25.
The numbers are 22, 24 and 26.
23, 24 & 25 :)
The smallest of the three numbers is 22.
X + x+ 1 + x + 2 =72 3x +3 = 72 3x = 69 x = 23 23,24,25
You probably want to know "What are the 3 consecutive whole numbers whose sum is 72 ?" They are 23, 24, and 25.
The numbers are 71, 72 and 73.
8 & 9. :)
consecutive means each number in the sequence is 1 more than the previous # Therefore (Algebraically) (x) + (x+1) + (x+2) =72 3x + 3 = 72 x = 23, x+1 =24 x+2 = 25 The three numbers are: 23 24 and 25. The smallest is 23.
The numbers are 22, 24 and 26.

23, 24 & 25 :)
The smallest of the three numbers is 22.
There are no two consecutive whole numbers that sum to 142.With two consecutive whole numbers, one is even and the other odd, and their sum will be odd, but 142 is even.Two consecutive even numbers that sum to 142 are 70 and 72.
X + x+ 1 + x + 2 =72 3x +3 = 72 3x = 69 x = 23 23,24,25
2 and 3 are consecutive prime numbers.
let 2 consecutive numbers be x and x+1, so product will be x^2+x = 72 i.e x^2 + x - 72 = 0 finding roots of quadratic equation x= -9 or x = 8 x = 8 satisfies given condition so is the answer.
