IF they are three consecutive numbers then the lowest number can be represented with "X" The next consecutive number is 1 greater than the 1 b4 so it must be "x+1" The last consecutive number must be 1 more, so it is "x+2" If they are the sum that you can set up the equation:
X + X + 1 + X + 2 = 183
3x +3 = 183
3x = 180
x = 60
Naw you can just substitute for X. then answer should be 60,61, and 62

There is no set of three consecutive integers whose sum is 71.
The sum of three consecutive integers is -72
Divide the sum of the three consecutive odd integers by 3: 183/3 = 61. The smallest of these integers will be two less than 61 and the largest will be two more than 61, so the three consecutive odd integers will be 59, 61, 63.
The three integers are 187, 188 and 189.
The sum of any three consecutive odd integers is going to give an odd result. It is impossible for the sum of an odd number of odd integers to equal an even number.
