Answer:

312, 313, and 314

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the three numbers are consecutive, each one is one larger than the last. Therefore, we can express them as x, (x+1), and (x+2). Therefore:

[tex]x+(x+1)+(x+2)=939 \\\\3x+3=939 \\\\3x=936\\\\x=312\\\\x+1=313\\\\x+2=314[/tex]

Hope this helps!
