Let
1st Integer = x
2nd Integer = x+1
3rd Integer = x+2
==============================================
Given
(x)+(x+2)=256
x+x+2=256
2x+2=256
2x=256-2
2x=254
x=254/2
x=127
==================================================
1st Integer = x = 127
2nd Integer = x+1 = 127+1=128
3rd Integer = x+2 = 127+2=129
====================================================
Check
sum of the first and third is 256
127+129=256
256=256
