The sum of three consecutive number is 54. Taking the middle number as x, find: i) the expressions for the smallest number and the largest number ii) the three numbers
I divided 54 by 3 getting 18 flat. After that, I subtracted 1 from one of the 18' and added it to another 18 getting "17; 18; 19". Then I added them together to check my work and that's how I got it.
