You can put this solution on YOUR website!
find three consecutive integers whose som is -33
---------
The easiest way is to find the average, since that will be the middle integer. The other 2 will be the middle +1, and the middle -1.
The average of -33/3 = -11
So it's -10, -11 and -12
-----------
You can do it other ways, but they take longer. It's important not to waste time on tests.
