Find four consecutive integers whose sun is -200

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x, x+1, x+2, x+3 are the integers
Their sum is 4x+6
that equals -200
4x=-206
x=-51.5. There are no such 4 integers. There are 4 such numbers.
the 4 consecutive numbers that equal -200 are
-51.5, -50.5,-49.5, and -48.5.
-52,-51,-50,-49 don't
and neither do -51,-50,-49, -48
