Question 1063785
<pre><font size=4>
n + (n+1) + (n+2) = -12
n + n + 1 + n + 2 = -12
           3n + 3 = -12
               3n = 15
               {{{3n/3}}}{{{""=""}}}{{{15/3}}}
                n = -5

The consecutive integers are -5, -4, and -3.

The smallest value the first integer can be is the 
<b><i><font size=6><u>ONLY!!</b></i></font></u> value it can be, which is -5.
