Three consecutive integers have a sum of 72. find the integers

You can set up an equation like this:



To solve, combine like terms together to get:



Then, subtract 3 from both sides. 



Divide both sides by 3. 



23 is the first integer in the sequence. Come back to the first equation again, and plug in the numbers. 23+1 is 24, and 23+2 is 25. 

In conclusion, your three integers should be 23, 24, and 25. To check your work, you can add them together to find that it equals 72.
