First integer=X; Last integer=X+2
3(X+(X+2))=552 Divide each side by 3
2X+2=184 Subtract 2 from each side
2X=182 Divide each side by 2
X=91 ANSWER 1: The first integer is 91.
X+2=91+2=93 ANSWER 2: The last integer is 93
CHECK:
Three times the sum is 552
552=3(91+93)
552=3(184)
552=552
The middle integer is X+1=92, not needed in this problem.
