Hey there!!

What are consecutive numbers?

Consecutive numbers are the numbers which follow together.

... Let's take the first number as 'x'

Then, the second number would be 'x+1'

The third number would be 'x+2'

Hence,

... x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 170

... 3x + 3 = 170

... 3x = 170 - 3

... 3x = 167

... x = 167 / 3

As 167 is not exactly divisble by 3.

Hence, this equations doesn't have any solutions.

Hope it helps!
