Question

Three times the sum of three consecutive integers is 72. What are the integers?

Answer 1

The answer is: 23+ 24+ 25 = 72

Answer 2

For this case we must find three consecutive whole numbers whose sum of 72.

We know that:

$24 + 24 + 24 = 72$

But they are not consecutive, so we should look for numbers close to 24:

$23 + 24 + 25 = 72$

Thus, the three consecutive numbers are 23, 24 and 25

Answer:

23, 24 and 25
