Three consecutive integers add up to72. What are these integers?

23, 24, 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smallest integer be x, the middle integer be x+1, and the largest integer be x+1+1.

Total = smallest integer + middle integer + largest integer

        =  (x) + (x + 1) + (x + 1 + 1)

        = 3x + 3

3x + 3 = 72

Isolate 3x.

3x = 72 - 3

Evaluate.

3x = 69

Find x.

x = 69 ÷ 3

x = 23

Now that you know the smallest integer, the middle integer would be 24, and the largest integer would be 25 since they are all consecutive integers.
