Write that equation! Analyze or solve.

Consecutive numbers, integers.
n, n+1, n+2.

, but the description is ambiguous.
"the remaining integer increased by twenty-four".
"the square of the remaining integer increased by twenty-four".
You need to make this clearer.

Going with the first interpretation, either the three numbers are consecutive integers, or they are not. Solve the equation for n and find out.
