Answer:

The middle integer is 11.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Let <em>x</em> be the smallest of the three consecutive integers.

Let <em>x</em>+1 and <em>x</em>+2 be the next consecutive integers. This makes <em>x</em>+1 the middle integer.

We're given that the third integer subtracted from the sum of the first two integers equals 9. We can use this to construct an equation:

(x)+(x+1)-(x+2)=9

Combine like terms:

x+x+1-x-2=9\\x+x-x+1-2=9\\x-1=9\\x=10

Therefore, the smallest integer is 10.

Because the middle integer is <em>x</em>+1, the middle integer is 11.

I hope this helps!
