Let x be the first integer , y be the second integer , and z be the third integer

x < y < z < 25

We know that

Median=13

Median=(x+y+z)/3

13=(x+y+z)/3

x+y+z=39------> equation 1

Range=10

The range is the difference between the largest number within the set and the smallest number in the set

So range=z-x

z-x=10------> z=x+10-----> equation 2

to find the solution we will assume different values ​​of x (See the attached table)

terms

x < y < z < 25

z=x+10

y=39-z-x

The solution can be

7,15,17

8,13,18

9,11,19

hope it helps!
