Let x=the smallest integer, x+1=the second smallest, x+2=the greatest.
x+x+1+x+2=141
3x+3=141
3x=138
x=46
46 is the smallest integer

Our three consecutive integers can be represented as

X → first integer

X + 1 → second integer

X + 2 → third integer

If the sum of our three consecutive integers is 141, our equation will read...

X + X + 1 + X + 2 = 141

Now, we can simplify on the left. Once we simplify, our equation will now read

3x + 3 = 141

      -3     -3  ← subtract 3 on both sides

      3x = 138 ← divide by 3 on both sides

       <u>X = 46</u> ← smallest integer

Therefore, the smallest integer is 46.

Mistake in Line 2 : Was in the determining the values for a ,b,c

Mistake in Line 4 : Not taking the square roots of both sides.

Step-by-step explanation:

{a}^{2}  +  {b}^{2}  =  {c}^{2}

First Mistake : Line 2

a = x \\ b = 6 \\ c = 10

Second Mistake : Line 4

136 =  {x}^{2}  \\ not \\ 136 = x

Correct Solution :

{x}^{2}  +  {6}^{2}  =  {10}^{2}  \\  {x}^{2}  =  {10}^{2}  -  {6}^{2}  \\  {x}^{2}  = 100 - 36 \\

{x}^{2}  = 64 \\  \sqrt{ {x}^{2} }  =  \sqrt{64}  \\ x = 6
