Let the smallest number be x-1

(x-1)^2 + x^2 + (x+1)^2 = 194

x^2 - 2x + 1 + x^2 + x^2 + 2x + 1 = 194

3x^2 + 2 = 194

x^2 = 192/3 = 64

x = 8 or - 8(rejected)

The smallest number is 8 - 1 = 7

Let the smallest number is x.
x^2 + (x+1)^2 + (x+2)^2 = 194
x^2 + (x^2 + 2x + 1) + (x^2 + 4x + 4) =194
3x^2 + 6x + 5 =194
3x^2 + 6x -189 = 0
(3x - 21)(x + 9) = 0
x = 7 or -9
The smallest number is 7 or -9
