Consecutive numbers can be written as n, n+1 and n+2.....with n+2 being the largest
\n" ); document.write( "(n+2) + 5n = -244
\n" ); document.write( "6n + 2 = -244
\n" ); document.write( "6n +2 - 2 = -244 - 2
\n" ); document.write( "6n = -246
\n" ); document.write( "6n/6 = -246/6
\n" ); document.write( "n = -41
\n" ); document.write( "n+1 = -40
\n" ); document.write( "n+2 = -39 \n" ); document.write( "
