Answer:Three consecutive integers are 7,8 and 9

Solution:

Let the numbers are x, x+1 and x+2

(Since these are consecutive integers)

they are taken in increasing order and multiplied by 2,3 and 4 respectively

So x becomes 2x

(x+1) becomes 3(x+1)

(x+2) becomes 4(x+2)

they add up to 74,so ATQ

2x + 3(x + 1) + 4(x + 2) = 74 \\ 2x + 3x + 3 + 4x + 8 = 74 \\ 9x + 11 = 74 \\ 9x = 74 - 11 \\ 9x = 63 \\ x =  \frac{63}{9 }  \\ x = 7

So,

Integers are 7,8,9

Verification:

2 \times 7 + 3 \times 8 + 4 \times 9 \\  = 14 + 24 + 36 \\  = 74

Hence the calculate integers are correct.
