Question

The sum of the three consecutive integers is -27. What is the product of the smallest and largest of the three integers?

Answer 1

Answer:

B. 80

Step-by-step explanation:

3 consecutive integers: x-1 , x , x+1

(x-1) + x + (x+1) = -27

3x = -27

x = -9

smallest: -9-1 : -10

largest: -9+1 : -8

product of the smallest and largest of the three integers: (-10)*(-8)=80
