Question 1005683: Find three consecutive integers whose sum is -3
Answer by fractalier(6550) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Call them x, x+1, and x+2, and when you add them together, you get -3...
x + x+1 + x+2 = -3
3x + 3 = -3
Now subtract 3
3x = -6
Now divide by 3
x = -2
The numbers are -2, -1, and 0.
