If one integer is x, its consecutives are x+1 and x+2.
The problems tells us their sum is 33 more than the least of the integers.
So the equation becomes:
.
x%2B%28x%2B1%29%2B%28x%2B2%29=33%2Bx
Now work the algebra by ading all x terms and all integer terms.
The solve for x to find your least of the integers. Just add 1 and 2 to find the other integers. Remember to check your answers by plugging the results into the equation and verify both sides are equal.
.
Done!
