I've tried several ways to work this problem but when I plug in the x, it doesn't make sense Answer by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The consecutive integers: x, (x+1), (x+2)

171 minus the first of the three consecutive integers is equivalent to the sum of the second and third.
171 - x = (x+1) + (x+2)
171 - x = 2x + 3
171 = 2x + x + 3
171 - 3 = 3x
168 = 3x
x = 168/3
x = 56
