Answer:
The numbers are -14,-13 and -12
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>The correct question is </em></u>
Find three consecutive integers such that the sum of the first, twice the second and three times the third is -76. What is the number?
Let
x ----> the first consecutive integer
x+1 ---> the second consecutive integer
x+2 ---> the third consecutive integer
we have that
solve for x
apply distributive property
Combine like terms
subtract 8 both sides
Divide by 6 both sides
so
therefore
The numbers are -14,-13 and -12
