The sum of three consecutive integers is 528. The smallest integer among the three integers is?

x = 1st integer
x + 1 = 2nd integer
x + 2 = 3rd integer

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 528 {sum of three consecutive integers is 528}
3x + 3 = 528 {combined like terms}
3x = 525 {subtracted 3 from both sides}
x = 175 {divided both sides by 3}
x + 1 = 176
x + 2 = 177
smallest is 175
