Answer:
19, 21 and 23
Explanation:
→ Make an algebraic expression for the 3 consecutive numbers
2x + 1, 2x + 3 and 2x + 5
→ Add the expressions together and make it equal to 63
2x + 1 + 2x + 3 + 2x + 5 = 63
→ Simplify
6x + 9 = 63
→ Minus 9 from both sides
6x = 54
→ Divide both sides by 6
x = 9
→ Resubstitute x = 9 into the 3 expressions
x = 9 into 2x + 1 is 19
x = 9 into 2x + 3 is 21
x = 9 into 2x + 5 is 23
