Answer:
Let the First, number be x.
Then, Next number will be x + 1
Then, Next number will be x + 2
Therefore, 2(x) + 3(x + 1) + 4(x + 2) = 74
2x + 3x + 3 + 4x + 8 = 74
9x + 11 = 74
9x = 74 - 11
9x = 63
x = 63
9
x = 7
So, the numbers are 7, 7+1, 7+2.
that is= 7,8 and 9.

Answer:
7, 8, 9
Step-By-Step Explanation:
Let the three consecutive integers are x, x+1 and x+2.
According to the question,
2x + 3(x+1) + 4(x+2) = 74
⇒ 2x + 3x +3 + 4x + 8 = 74
⇒ 9x + 11 = 74
⇒ 9x = 74 – 11
⇒ 9x = 63
⇒ x = 63/9
⇒ x = 7
Thus, the numbers are:
x = 7
x + 1 = 8
x + 2 = 9
