Answer: 149,150,151

Step-by-step explanation:

1.st solution

Let the smallest number is x.

So next consecutive number is x+1

So the third consecutive number is x+2

So the sum of these three numbers is:

x+x+1+x+2=450

3x+3=450

3x=447

x=149  - first number

Second number is 149+1=150

Third number is 150+1=151

2-nd solution

The sum of 3 numbers in row is 450. It means that average  number is 450:3=150 - is the number which is in the middle

So the first one number is 150-1=149 and the third number is 150+1=151
