    Step-by-step explanation:

    x is the first number

    x+1 is the second number

    x+2 is the third number

    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 by 3

    3x/3 = 33/3

    x = 11

    The numbers are 11, 11+1, 11+2
