Well, honey, if you put on your thinking cap, you'll see that 18 + 19 + 20 + 21 adds up to 78, not 75. So, you might want to try again with those numbers. Math can be a tricky little devil sometimes, but I have faith in you!

Oh, what a happy little math problem we have here! Let's think about it together. If we start with the number 17, then add 18, 19, and 20, we get four consecutive numbers that add up to 75. Just like painting a beautiful landscape, sometimes all it takes is a few gentle strokes to create something wonderful.
There is no set of 8 consecutive whole numbers whose sum is 75.
They are 24, 25 and 26.
75 and 76
Divide the sum of the three consecutive numbers by 3: 75/3=25. The smallest of these numbers will be one less than 25 and the largest will be one more than 25, so the three consecutive numbers will be 24, 25, and 26.
The numbers are 37 and 38.
