Answer:
Integers = 18, 20 , 22
Step-by-step explanation:
Assume:
first number = x -2
second number = x
third number = x + 2
Sum of the first and second decreased by the third is 16:
(x - 2) + x - (x + 2) = 16
x - 2 + x - x - 2 = 16
x - 4 = 16
x = 20
Find the numbers:
first number = x - 2 = 20 - 2 = 18
second number = x = 20
third number = x + 2 = 20 + 2 = 22
