Question

Six times the sum of three consecutive odd numbers is -18. Find the integers

Answer 1

Answer:

-2,-1,0

Step-by-step explanation:

let the consecutive numbers be x,x+1,x+2

6(x+x+1+x+2) = - 18

6(3x+3) = - 18

3x+3 = - 18/6

3x+3 = -3

3x = - 3 - 3

3x = - 6

x = - 2

x + 1 = -2 + 1 = -1

x + 2 = - 2+ 2 = 0
