Lilliana · Answer 1

Consetuve integers are 1 apart

they are n, n+1, n+2

so

n+n+1+n+2=120

3n+3=120

miknus 3 both sides

3n=117

divide both sides by 3

n=39

n+1=40

n+2=41

the numbers are 39,40,41

Consecutive numbers are numbers right next to each other like 1 2 3 so I think you'd divide 120 by 3. But I think the numbers are 39 40 and 41
