cosecutive itegers are for example 1 2 3 4 5 6 7...
if i stat 1=x then in order for me to get to it would be x+1 then to get from 1 to 3 it would be x+2
so it would look like x, x+1, x+2 which for this example x=1 and it looks like this 1, 1+1, 1+2 which you can see is 1, 2, 3
___________________
so for the problem 3 cosecutive itegers would be
x, x+1, x+2

so 23, 24, 25
check
23+24+25=72
72=72
correct
