Answer:
-56
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
Let's create an equation to figure out what the middle integer really is.
Creating an equation:
n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) = -168 (This is true because we must account for the <em>consecutive integers </em>part.)
Simplifying:
3n + 3 = -168
Subtracting:
3n = -171
Dividing:
n = -57
Now, we plug-and-chug:
-57, -56, -54 (this is because we accounted for adding <em>positive </em>one.)
Thus, the middle integer is .
Check:
We can see if we are correct by adding up -57, -56, -54.
(-57) + (-56) + (-54) = -168
So we are correct!
Hope this helps!
