Let the number be "x".
Equation:
x-10 = -13
x = -3

I = K + 2.1 million
I + K= 10.3 million
------------------------
Substitute for I and solve for "K":
K + 2.1 + K = 10.3
2K = 8.2 million
K = 4.1 million (Kentucky population)
---
Since I = K+2.1 , I = 6.2 million (Indiana population)

1st: x-1
2nd: x
3rd: x+1
----------------------------------
Equation:
x-1 + x + x+1 = 1982031
3x = 1982031
x = 660677 (the 2nd integer
x-1 = 660676 (the 1st integer)
x+1 = 660678 (the 3rd integer)
