Its simple algebra…
Thing is its three numbers, so let the middle one of them be x
now since they are consecutive the number before x is x-1 and the number after is x +1
Now when you add the three of them you get 50…
So add these 3 and solve for x… (there is a simpler way but this is the baasic idea of how u solve it)
