Answer:

The three consecutive integers whose sum is 30 are 8, 10, and 12.

Explanation:

Let the three consectuive integers be x, x + 2, and x + 4.

Hence, the sum will be given by:

x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 30

3x + 6 = 30

x = 8

(x + 2) = 8 + 2

= 10

(x + 4) = 8 + 4

= 12

Thus, the three consecutive integers whose sum is 30 are 8, 10 and 12

Hope it is helpful....
