hi <3

lets form an equation and associate values to each unknown

so, the first number can be 'n' and the second number can be 'n + 1' etc etc

now we have:

n + n + 1 + n + 2 + n + 3 = 354

4n + 6 = 354

subtract 6 from both sides:

4n = 348

divide both sides by 4:

n = 87

thus, the second number would be 88

hope this helps :)
