Today's Math Quiz......

I am thinking of three consecutive numbers. If I multiply the first with the second and then subtract three times the third, the result is 57. What are the numbers?"

9x10=90
11x3=33
90-33=57

hence, thus and therefore....the answer would be 9,10 and 11

Very well done Bobbo! There are also a set of numbers that work as well;
9,10,11 OR -7,-6,-5
