The first number can be written as x

The second would therefore be x + 1

The third would therefore by x + 2

This is what we know:

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 774

Simplify:

3x + 3 = 774

Subtract 3 from both sides:

3x = 771

Divide both sides by 3:

x = 257

The numbers are 257, 258 and 259

Hope This Helps You!

Good Luck (:

lets assume those 3 numbers are x , x +1, x +2

so

x + x +1+ x + 2 = 774

3x + 3 = 774

3x = 774-3 = 771

x = 771/3 = 257

so numbers are

257 , 258, 259
