Consecutive means that numbers follow each other. Think about the link between two numbers that follow each other, for example : 4 and 5

to get 5 from 4, you need to do +1

there. to write consecutive numbers using n, you need to do
n, n + 1

then you need the number following n + 1
once again to get a new number, do (n + 1) + 1

so the 3 numbers are :
n
n + 1
n + 2

Step 1. Let n be an integer.

Step 2. Let n+1 and n+2 be the next two consecutive integers.

Step 3. Let n+n+1=2n+1 be the sum of the two smallest integers.

Step 4. Let 2(2n+1) be twice the sum of the two smallest integers.

Step 5. Let 3(n+2) be three times the largest number

Step 6. Then using Steps 3 and 4, 2(2n+1)=3(n+2)+10 since twice the sum of the two smallest numbers is 10 more than three times the largest number.

Step 7. Solving yields the following steps:
