I don't know what an interger is. Furthermore, you didn't say what it is you want to know, but I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that you want to know the value of each of three consecutive integers where three times the smallest is 8 more than the sum of the two larger integers.

Let represent the smallest integer. Then the next consecutive integer is and the next one is .

Three times the smallest:

The sum of the two larger:

8 more than that:

So:



Solve for to get the value of the smallest integer, then add one to get the next larger one, and add 2 to get the largest one.
