Answer:

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

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the three consecutive negative integers be k, (k-1) and (k -2)

Now, according to the question:

6(Largest Integer)  = 2( Sum of smaller two Integers)

or, 6 (k)  = 2( (k-1) + (k-2))

⇒ 6k = 2(2k -3)

or, 6k = 4k - 6

or, 6k - 4k = -6

or, 2k = -6 ⇒  k =  -3

Hence, the largest negative integer = -3

The next two consecutive negative  integer are (k-1) and (k-2)  = (-3-1) and (-3-2)

 = -4 and -5

Hence, the consecutive negative integers are -3, -4 and -5.

Write an example of the associative property of addition
vfiekz [6]
The word "associative" comes from "associate" or "group";the Associative Property is the rule that refers to grouping. For addition, the rule is "<span>a + (b + c) = (a + b) + c</span><span>"; in numbers, this means 
</span>2 + (3 + 4) = (2 + 3) + 4. For multiplication, the rule is "<span>a(bc) = (ab)c</span>"; in numbers, this means2(3×4) = (2×3)4<span>. Any time they refer to the Associative Property, they want you to regroup things; any time a computation depends on things being regrouped, they want you to say that the computation uses the Associative Property.</span>
