    Let the 3 numbers be x, x+1, x+2

    Given sum of those 3 consecutive integers are 78

    X+x+1+x+2=78

    3x+3=78

    3 (x+1) = 78

    X+1=26

    X=26-1

    X=25

    Therefore the numbers are 25,26,27

    Answer: 25, 26, and 27

    Step-by-step explanation: Three consecutive integers can be represented as followed. Let's use "T" as our variable.

    T → first integer

    T + 1 → second integer

    T + 2 → third integer

    Since the sum of our three consecutive integers is 78, our equation will be as followed.

    T + T + 1 + T + 2 = 78

    We can simplify on the left.

    3t + 3 = 78

    -3 - 3 ← subtract 3 on both sides

    3t = 75

    :3 : 3 ← divide by 3 on both sides

    T = 25

    T + 1 = 26

    T + 2 = 27

    Therefore, our three consecutive integers are 25, 26, and 27.
