Given :
Three consecutive integers = x , ( x + 1 ) , ( x + 2 )
Sum = Addition = x + ( x + 1 ) + ( x + 2 )
Total = 24
According to the question :
=> x + ( x + 1 ) + ( x + 2 ) = 24
=> 3x + 3 = 24
=> 3x = 24 - 3
=> 3x = 21
=> x = 21 / 3
☃️ => x = 7
⋆ x = 7
⋆ x + 1 = 7 + 1 = 8
⋆ x + 2 = 7 + 2 = 9
Verification :
x + ( x + 1 ) + ( x + 2 ) = 24
● substitute the values
=> 7 + 8 + 9 = 24
=> 24 = 24
❥ So, It's Done ❥ !!

Answer:
let the three numbers be x,x+1,x+2
since their sum is 24
=> x+x+1+x+2=24
=> 3x+3=24
=> 3x=24-3
=> 3x=21
=> x=21/3
=> x=7
=> x+1= 8
x+2=9
therefore, the three numbers are 7,8 and 9
