Hi,
Let x,(x+1),(x+2) represent the three consecutive integers
Question states***
5x+2(x+1) =6(x+2)
5x + 2x + 2 = 6x + 12
7x + 2 = 6x + 12 |subtracting 6x and 2 from both sides of the Equation
x = 10 the three consecutive integers are 10,11,12

CHECKING our Answer***
50 + 2*11 = 50 + 22 = 72 = 6*12
