Question 344376: I'm having a lot of issues with word problems lately :( Can someone provide help with this "Consecutive integers are integers that follow each other in order (for example 5, 6, and 7). The sum of three consecutive integers is 417. Let n be the first one. Write an equation that will determine the three integers."

If n is the first one, n%2B1 is the second, n%2B2 is the third.
n%2B%28n%2B1%29%2B%28n%2B2%29=417
highlight%283n%2B3=417%29
