Let
1st Integer = x
2nd Integer = x+1
3rd Integer = x+2
======================================
Given
x+(x+2)=44
x+x+2=44
2x+2=44
2x=44-2
2x=42
x=42/2
x=21
==========================================
1st Integer = x = 21
2nd Integer = x+1=21+1=22
3rd Integer = x+2=21+2=23
======================================
Check
21+23=44
44=44
