Answer:
The numbers are 11,12,13
The smallest number is 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the first number be x
The next number is x+1
The third number is x+2
x+x+1+x+2 = 36
Combine like terms
3x+3 = 36
Subtract 3 from each side
3x+3-3 = 36-3
3x=33
Divide each side by 3
3x/3 = 33/3
x=11
The numbers are 11,12,13
The smallest number is 11
