Answer:

(x + 1)(x + 2) = 7x - 1

{1, 2, 3} and {3, 4, 5}

Step-by-step explanation:

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

(x + 1)(x + 2) = 7x - 1

x² + 3x + 2 - 7x + 1 = 0

x² - 4x + 3 = 0

(x - 3)(x - 1) = 0

x - 3 = 0  or  x - 1 = 0

x = 3  or  x = 1

For x = 1,

x = 1, x + 1 = 2, x + 2 = 3

For x = 3,

x = 3, x + 1 = 4, x + 2 = 5

Answer: {1, 2, 3} and {3, 4, 5}
