Answer 2

Answer:

The three integers are 11 , 13 , and 15

Step-by-step explanation:

We shall consider the integers as x , (x+2) and (x+4) The sum of these is 39 , so we can write:

x+(x+2)+(x+4)=39

Open the brackets and simplify.

x+x+2+x+4=39

3x+6=39

Subtract 6 from each side.

3x=33

Divide both sides by 3

x=11

Therefore:

(x+2)=13 and (x+4)=15
