    Let x, x+2 & x+4 be the 3 integers.

    x + 2 (x+2) = (x+4) + 20

    x + 2x + 4 = x + 4 + 20

    3x + 4 = x + 24

    3x - x = 24 - 4

    2x = 20

    x = 20/1

    x=10 ans. for the smallest integer.

    10 + 2 = 12 for the middle integer.

    10 + 4 = 14 ans. for the largest integer.

    To check:

    10 + 2*12 = 14 + 20

    10 + 24 = 34

    34 = 34
