Hey there!!
Let's take the first number as 'x'
Then, the second consecutive integer would be 'x+2'
Hence, the third consecutive integer would be 'x+4'
As the question states, the sum of the smallest integer and the second integer is 20 greater than the third number.
Hence, the equation would be:
... x + x + 2 = x + 4 + 20
... 2x + 2 = x + 24
Subtracting x on both sides:
... 2x - x + 2 = 24
... x + 2 = 24
Subtracting 2 on both sides:
... x = 24 - 2
... x = 22
Hence, the smallest number is 22.
The second number is = 22 + 2
... 24
The third number is = 22 + 4
... 26
Hence, the numbers are 22,24 and 26.
Hope my answer helps!
