Answer:

117, 118, 119

Explanation:

X is the first number X+1 is the second number and X+2 is the third

X+(X+1)+(X+2)=354

X+X+1+X+2=354 Combine like terms:

3X+3=354 Subtract 3 to isolate the variable

- 3 - 3

3X = 351 Divide both sides by 3 to get x by itself

X = 117

117 is the first number.

118 and 119 are the next numbers.

117+118+119= 354

Hope this helps :)
