    If the third of 6 consecutive numbers is 12, what is their sum?


    If 12 is the third of 6 consecutive numbers:
    First consecutive number is 12 - 2 = 10
    Second consecutive number = 12 - 1 = 11
    Third consecutive number = 12
    Fourth consecutive number = 12 + 1 = 13
    Fifth consecutive number = 13 + 1 = 14
    Sixth consecutive number = 14 + 1 = 15

    The sum of all consecutive numbers is:
    10 + 11 + 12 + 13 + 14 + 15 = 75
