Question 231565
<font face="Garamond" size="+2">


Let *[tex \Large x] represent the first even integer.  Then the second even integer must be *[tex \Large x\ +\ 2].  The one after that must be *[tex \Large (x\ +\ 2)\ +\ 2\ =\ x\ +\ 4].


The sum is -60:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ x\ +\ (x\ +\ 2)\ +\ (x\ +\ 4)\ =\ -60]


Just solve for *[tex \Large x].  <b>Hint:</b> No one said the answers have to be positive integers.
