    Answer: 19, 20, and 21

    Step-by-step explanation: This problem states that the sum of 3 consecutive integers is 60 and it asks us to find the integers.

    Three consecutive integers can be represented as followed.

    X ⇒ first integer

    X + 1 ⇒ second integer

    X + 2 ⇒ third integer

    Since the sum of our 3 consecutive integers is 60, we can set up an equation.

    X + X + 1 + X + 2 = 60

    3x + 3 = 60

    -3 - 3

    3x = 57

    : 3 : 3

    X = 19

    X + 1 = 20

    X + 2 = 21

    Therefore, our three consecutive integers are 19, 20, and 21.

    60 = x + x + 1 + x + 2

    60 = 3x + 3

    -3

    57 = 3x

    /3

    19 = x

    The 3 integers are: 19, 20, and 21.
