    eg. n is the smallest integer, the other numbers would be (n+1) and (n+2)

    Write an equation based on the problem

    the sum of integers = 177

    n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) = 177

    n + n + n + 1 + 2 = 177

    3n + 3 = 177

    Solve the equation

    3n + 3 = 177

    3n = 177 - 3

    3n = 174

    n = 174/3

    n = 58

    The smallest number of the integers is 58
