Answer:

61

Step-by-step explanation:

If you want only the middle number, then call it x

the largest of the 3 is x + 1

The smallest of the 3 is x - 1

Add

x + 1 + x - 1 + x = 183 Cancel the 1s out.

x + x + x  = 183          Combine the like terms on the left

3x = 183                     Divide by 3

x = 183/3                    Do the division

x = 61

The middle number is 61
