You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Did you mean to say the sum of the first two is 35 MORE than the third? (you didn't specify the relationship between 35 and the third integer, but I'm going to assume "more").
.
Let x = integer
Let x+1 = consecutive integer
Let x+2 = the next consecutive integer

Our equation then becomes:
x%2B%28x%2B1%29=35%2B%28x%2B2%29
Now remove the parenthesis and workout the algebra.
The solution for x+2=38
