Question 994853
.
The integers are  x,  x+2,  x+4,  x+6  and  x+8,  where  x  is the smallest of them.


The equation to find  x  is


x + (x+2) + (x+4) + (x+6) + (x+8) = -20.


Simplify and solve:


5x + 20 = -20,


5x = -40,


x = -8.


<U>Check</U>. &nbsp;&nbsp;-8 + (-6) + (-4) + (-2) + 0 = -20.


<U>Answer</U>. &nbsp;&nbsp;The integers are &nbsp;-8, &nbsp;-6, &nbsp;-4, &nbsp;-2 &nbsp;and &nbsp;0.
