-------
1st:: 2x-1
2nd:: 2x+1
3rd:: 2x+3
------
Sum = 6x+3
-----
Equation:
6x+3 = 2(2x+1) + 11
-----
6x+3 = 4x +13
2x = 10
x = 5
------
1st: 2x-1 = 9
2nd: 11
3rd: 13
------------

Let first integer be F

Then others are: F + 2, and F + 4

We then get: F + F + 2 + F + 4 = 2(F + 2) + 11

3F + 6 = 2F + 4 + 11

3F - 2F = 15 - 6

F, or 1st integer = highlight_green%289%29

2nd: 9 + 2

3rd: 9 + 4

It's very EASY.....far from being complex!
