1 answer:
- Let the first integer be x.
- Let the second integer be x + 1 .
- Let the third integer be x + 2 .
<h2>
<u>According</u><u> to</u><u> the</u><u> </u><u>question</u></h2>
x + ( x + 1 ) + ( x + 2 ) = -42
Opening the brackets and simplifying :
x + x + 1 + x + 2 = -42
3x + 3 = -42
Now , solving equation :
