Asked by Joshua pouncy

What is the smallest of three consecutive integers if
the sum of the smaller two integers is equal to 177 less than four times the largest?

Note: Consecutive integers are integers that come one after the other. For example: -3, -2 and -1 or 14, 15 and 16. Therefore, if the first number is x, the second is x + 1 and the third is x + 2. Each time we add one to the previous integer to get the next consecutive integer.

smallest number ---- x
middle number ------ x+1
larger number --------x+2

x + x+1 = 4(x+2) - 177
2x+1 = 4x+8-117
-2x = -110
x = 55
