    Step-by-step explanation:

    3 consecutive integers ... x and x + 1 and x + 2

    3x = x + 2 + 18

    3x = x + 20

    3x - x = 20

    2x = 20

    x = 20/2

    x = 10

    x + 1 = 10 + 1 = 11

    x + 2 = 10 + 2 = 12

    ur numbers are 10, 11, and 12

    Answer: 10, 11, 12

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let the integers be : x, x + 1 and x + 2

    the smallest multiplied by 3 implies 3x

    From the first statement

    3x = 18 + (x+2)

    3x = 18 + x + 2

    3x - x = 18 + 2

    2x = 20

    x = 10

    Therefore : the numbers are : 10, 10 + 1 and 10 + 2

    the numbers are : 10, 11, 12
