Answer:

Integers = 18, 20 , 22

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume:

first number = x -2

second number = x

third number = x + 2

Sum of the first and second decreased by the third is 16:

(x - 2) + x - (x + 2) = 16

x - 2 + x - x - 2 = 16

x - 4 = 16

x = 20

Find the numbers:

first number = x - 2 = 20 - 2  = 18

second number = x = 20

third number = x + 2 = 20 + 2 = 22
