Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be x,

The second number (since it is consecutive) will be = x + 1

The third number (since it is right after the second) = (x+1) + 1 = x + 2

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 15

3x + 3 = 15

3x = 15 - 3

3x = 12

x = 12/3 = 4

If the first number = 4,

Second number will be = 5 [(x+1) = 4+1]

Third number will be = 6 [(x+2) = 4 + 2]
