73,75,77

do it like this
(x-2)+x+(x+2)=225
add it all up
3x=225
x=75

so, 75-2=73
and 75+2=77 so, 73,75,77 is the answer

Three consecutive integers whose sum is 225 are 74, 75, and 76.

Three consecutive odd integers add up to 225. This means the middle of the three numbers is one third of 225.

225/3=75

The middle number is 75. The other two numbers are 74 and 76.

Three consecutive integers whose sum is 225 are 74, 75, and 76.
