seven, eight, and nine is the correct answer.
1st integer: x
2nd integer: x + 1
3rd integer: x + 2

x + x+1 + x+2 =24
3x + 3 = 24
3x = 24-3
3x = 21
3x/3 = 21/3
x = 7

The three consecutive integers are:
Substitute 7 for x:
1st integer: x = 7
2nd integer: x+1 = 7+1 = 8
3rd integer: x+2 = 7+2 = 9

ANSWER: The integers are 7, 8, and 9.
