    Ok so

    x - the smallest

    The other 4 are : x+1, x+2, x+3, x+4

    We know that sum is 120

    So

    x+x+1+x+2+x+3+x+4=120

    Combine like terms

    5x+10=120

    Subtract 10 on both sides

    5x=120-10

    5x=110

    Divide by 5 on both sides

    X=22

    The third number is x+2 = 22+2=24
