    Let

    x = first consecutive integer

    x + 1 = second consecutive integer

    x + 2 = third consecutive integer

    Based on the problem, we equate

    x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 72

    Solving for x,

    3x = 72 - 1 - 2

    3x = 69

    x = 69/3

    x = 23

    Thus, the three integers are 23, 24 and 25.
