Let us assume that the first integer is x. Thus, we have the next two integers as x+1 and x+2. ... Thus, the next two integers are x+1=7+1=8 and x+2=7+2=9. So, the three consecutive integers whose sum is 24 are 7, 8 and 9.

Answer :
- The Integers are 7,8 and 9.
Explanation :
Given :
- Sum of 3 consecutive Integers = 24.
To Find :
- The Integers.
Solution :
Let the numbers be,
- x.
- x + 1.
- x + 2.
Here, Consecutive means line wise.
Example :- 1,2,3 etc.
So,
★ According to the Question,
➠ x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 24.
➠ 3x + 3 = 24.
➠ 3x = 24 - 3.
➠ 3x = 21.
➠ x = 21 ÷ 3.
➠ x = 7.
Therefore,
- 1st Number = x = 7.
- 2nd Number = x + 1 = 8.
- 3rd Number = x + 2 = 9.
