Consecutive integers are $2$ , $3$ and $4$

Let the consecutive integers be $x$ , $x+1$ and $x+2$ .

As their sum is $9$ , we have

$x+x+1+x+2=9$

or $3x+3=9$

or $3x=9-3=6$

Hence, $x=6×1/3=2$

and consecutive integers are $2$ , $3$ and $4$ .

If the sum of three consecutive integers is 99, what are the integers?
