Let x=1st integer
Then x+1=2nd integer
And x+2=3rd integer
We are told that:
x+x+1+x+2=156 collect like terms
3x+3=156 subtract 3 from both sides
3x=153 divide both sides by 3
x=51-------------------------1st integer
x+1=51+1=52---------------------2nd integer
x+2=51+2=53-----------------------3rd integer
CK
51+52+53=156
156=156
