Let n represent the interger l, the three consective intergers are represented by
[tex]n[/tex]
[tex]n + 2[/tex]
[tex]n + 4[/tex]
The second one represent
[tex](n + 2) {}^{2} + 76 =( n + 4) {}^{2} [/tex]
Simplify both sides
[tex]n {}^{2} + 4n + 4 + 76 = {n}^{2} + 8n + 16[/tex]
[tex] {n}^{2} + 4n + 4 = {n}^{2} + 8n - 60[/tex]
[tex]4n + 4 = 8n - 60[/tex]
[tex]4n + 64= 8n[/tex]
[tex]64= 4n[/tex]
[tex]n = 16[/tex]
The intergers are 16,18,20
