Answer:

let the three consecutive Integers be

x , x+1 , x+2

their sum is 60,

so,

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 60

3x + 3 = 60

3x = 60 - 3 = 57

x = 57/3 = 19

therefore, 1st integer = 19

2nd integer = x + 1 = 19 + 1 = 20

3rd integer = x + 2 = 19 + 2 = 21

so,

the three consecutive Integers are 19 , 20 and 21.

hope this answer helps you dear... take care and may u have a great day ahead!
