Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
1. Distribute the X across the equation: 
2.
3.
3.
The rational bumber between -2 and 0 is -1
Let the three consecutive number be x,x+1 and x+2.
It is given sum of three consecutive numbers is 46.
So,x+x+1+x+2=46
3x+3=46.
Subtracting 3 both sides
3x=46-3
3x=43.
x= 
Since
is not an integer there is no true answer to this problem.
