Let's assign each integer.

Number one= x
Number two= x+1
Number three= x+2

Since they all equal 177 the equation will be:

x+(x+1)+(x+2)=177

3x+3=177

Let's move 3 to the other side.

3x=177-3=174

x=58.

Now that we know what Number one is, we can just fill in the rest.

Number one: 58
Number two: 59
Number three: 60.

Now let's check:
58+59+60=177

There is your answer. If this helped please vote brainliest! :)
