    92, 93, 94

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Suppose,

    Three consecutive integers would be x, (x+1), (x+2)

    so,

    x + (x+1) + (x+2) = 279

    ⇒ x+x+1+x+2 = 279

    ⇒3x+3 = 279

    subtract 3 from both sides

    ⇒3x = 276

    divide both sides by 3

    ⇒x = 276/3

    ∴x = 92

    so,

    The integers are-

    x=92 x+1 = 92+1 = 93 x+2 = 92+1=94

    Answer: 92, 93, and 94

    Step-by-step explanation: The problem is asking us to find three consecutive integers that have a sum of 279. Three consecutive integers can be represented as followed.

    X ⇒ first integer

    X + 1 ⇒ second integer

    X + 2 ⇒ third integer

    Since the sum of our three consecutive integers is 279, we can set up an equation to represent this.

    X + X + 1 + X + 2 = 279

    We can simplify on the left side of the equation.

    3x + 3 = 279

    -3 - 3 ← subtract 3 on both sides

    3x = 276

    :3 : 3 ← divide both sides by 3

    X → 92

    X + 1 → 93

    X + 2 → 94

    Therefore, our three consecutive integers are 92, 93, and 94.
