    The second number is 61

    Step-by-step explanation:

    It's implied that the first integer is odd.

    Since the consecutive intergers are odd, use an equation that looks like this:

    (x+2) + (x+2) + (x+2) = 183 and simplify

    *If you add 2 to an odd number, you get the next odd number. That's why I used 2*

    3x + 6 = 183 → 3x = 177 → x = 59 which means the first integer is 59. The consecutive integers is 59, 61, 63.
