STEP-BY-STEP SOLUTION:

Let the second integer of the three integers = x

Therefore:

First integer of the three integers = x - 1

Third integer of the three integers = x + 1

First integer + Third integer = 26

( x - 1 ) + ( x + 1 ) = 26

2x = 26

x = 26 / 2

x = 13

FINAL ANSWER:

Hence, the second integer of the three consecutive integers is 13.
