let's represent the numbers by : x, x+1, x+2, x+3
x+x+1+x+2+x+3=40                     The third number in the sequence is x+2
4x+6=40                                           8.5+2=10.5
4x+6-6=40-6                               Therefore the third number in the sequence is
4x=34                                             10.5
4x/4=34/4
x=8.5
