Explanation & Answer
Thank you for the opportunity to help you with your question!
let one of the smallest integer be x,then
they are consecutive so x , x+1 ,x+2 will be the integers
The sum of three consecutive integers is 108.
so, x+ x+1+x+2 = 108
3x+1+2 =108
3x +3 =108
3x = 108-3
3x = 105
x=105/3
x =35
so the smallest integer is 35
other integers are 35 + 1 =36
35 +2 = 37
answer is
integers are 35,36,37
