let x=first, so x+1=second and x+2=third ... x+x+1+x+2=-9

hi!
i have done similar questions to this so ill tell you what to do
Conecutive means number that come one after another........
so you do x+x+1+x+2=-9

so you use this formula you will get 3x and 3 and you divide by 3x and subtract 3 from both sides and solve the equation.........
remember .....
number you are going to get is the one that after two numbersrs are going to come
eg if you got 3 next will be 4 and 5
