Answer:

12, 13, 14, 15, 16

Explanation:

Let the five consecutive integers be (x - 2), (x - 1), x, (x + 1) & (x + 2)

According to the given condition:


(x - 2) + (x - 1) + x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 70 \\ 5x = 70 \\ x = (70)/(5) \\ x = 14 \\ \implies \\ (x - 2) = (14 - 2) = 12 \\ (x - 1) = (14 - 1) = 13 \\ x = 14 \\ (x + 1) = (14 + 1) = 15 \\ (x + 2) = (14 + 2) = 16\\
