ALWAYS, ALWAYS name the variable you're seeking in the "Let statement."
NEVER do what the other person suggests. He's TOTALLY LOST!!
PAY NO attention to this old white person on a hill. She's LOST too. She still thinks that we're in the 1930s or 1940s, when she learned math.
She's on here telling students to think logically as if she doesn't know that calculators exist in the 21st century, and that teaching is different from 60, 70 years ago.

Then other 2 are: S + 1, and S + 2
We then get: S + 2(S + 1) = S + 2 + 24
S + 2S + 2 = S + 26
3S - S = 26 - 2
S, or smallest number
