Answer:

267, 268, 269

Explanation:

The numbers are consecutive, so we can model them with this equation:

x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 804 combine like terms

3x + 3 = 804 subtract 3

3x = 801 divide by 3

x = 267

This means your numbers are 267, 268, and 269.

You can check this by adding these numbers, and they equal 804 so it is correct.
