Question

The sum of three consecutive integers is -206 . What is the largest integer?

Answer 1

Answer:

Can' possible......

Step-by-step explanation:

Let suppose the numbers are:

x

x + 1

x + 2

Now according to given condition:

x + x +1 + x+ 2 = -206

By adding we get:

3x + 3  = -206 Subtracting 3 from both sides:

3x + 3 - 3 = -206 -3

Both terms on right side have negative sign so we will add them. (answer will have negative sign.)

3x = -209  

Dividing both sides by 3:

x = -209/3

x = -69.6666

that is not an integer so the question is wrong.

I hope it will help you!
