The sum of three consecutive intergers is 174. What are the intergers?

Let the middle integer = x.
That means we have (x-1) + x + (x+1) = 174
3x = 174
x = 58
x-1 = 57
x+1 = 59

I have no idea what intergers are.

If you were talking about integers (whole numbers) instead,
then you could make 174 with 57, 58, and 59 .
