1 answer:
Answer:
-31
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the first integer
x+1 is the second integer
x+2 is the third integer
x+ x+1 + x+2 = -96
Combine like terms
3x+3 = -96
Subtract 3 from each side
3x+3-3 = -96-3
3x =-99
Divide by 3
3x/3 = -99/3
x = -33
The integers are
-33
-33+1 = -32
-33+2 = -31
The largest integer is -31
