let the unit digit be x
tens digit is x+2
hundreds digit is x+3
x+3 + x+2 + x = 20
3x = 15
x = 5
number is 875
tens digit is x+2
hundreds digit is x+3
x+3 + x+2 + x = 20
3x = 15
x = 5
number is 875

Let x = tens digit, the x + 1 = hundreds and x - 2 = ones
3x - 1 = 20
3x = 21
x = 7
x + 1 = ?
x -2 = ?
3x - 1 = 20
3x = 21
x = 7
x + 1 = ?
x -2 = ?
