Question

The sum of three consecutive integers is 71 less than the least of the integers. Find the integers.

Answer 1

Answer:

-37, -36, -35

Step-by-step explanation:

x+x+1+x+2=x-71

3x+3=x-71

2x=-74

x=-37

So x=-37, x+1=-36, x+2=-35

Add these three numbers and you get -108 which is 71 less than -37
