      WOW! That is quite a question Pink Poutine. First, let's define our variables. I assume that x is the integer in the middle.

      The first number is: n - 2

      The second number is: n

      The third number is: n + 2

      Using these variables make the equation representing:

      « The sum of the squares of the largest and smallest integers is 353 less than three times the square of the middle integer. »

      Solve for x. Find x-2 and x + 2

      And you're done.

      Let me know if that's not working. It worked perfectly well for me.

      Have a nice evening.
