Three consecutive integers can be defined as:
x
x+1
x+2
.
If you're setting up an equation, you might find defining them as:
x-1
x
x+1
useful, too.
.
Note that consecutive even integers can be defined as:
x
x+2
x+4
.
Interestingly, consecutive odd integers can be defined exactly the same:
x
x+2
x+4
.
Of course, if you had to find numbers that are consecutive multiples of 7, then you could define:
x
x+7
x+14
.
And so forth.
