Answer:
The three consecutive integers are: 7, 8 and 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the three consecutive integers be: x-1, x, x+1
According to the question,
2(x - 1) + 3x + 4(x + 1) = 74
=> 2x - 2 + 3x + 4x + 4 = 74
=> 9x + 2 = 74
=> 9x = 72
=> x = 8
Now, the three integers are: x-1, x, x+1
Substituting the value of x = 8, we get the three integers as: 7, 8, 9
Answer: The three consecutive integers are: 7, 8 and 9
