Answer:

5, 6, 7

Explanation:

This question deals with linear equetion.

Let the first no. x , the 2nd one x + 1 and the 3rd no. will be x + 2 .

we have given that 3 consucetive sum are 18 so we write this equetion as

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 18

3x + 3 = 18

3x = 18 - 3

3x = 15

3x/3 = 15/3

x = 5

so the 1st no. is 5

the 2nd no. is 5 + 1 = 6

the 3rd no. is 5 + 2 = 7

and the no. is 5, 6, 7
