Question

Verify the distribution property of multiplication over subtraction for the three consecutive negative integers whose sum is (-15)

Answer 1

Answer:

-6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the three consecutive no is x + (x+1) + (x+2)

According to question, x + (x+1) + (x+2) = -15

> x + x + 1 + x + 2 = -15

> 3x + 3 = -15

> 3x = -15 - 3

> 3x = -18

> x = -18/3

> x = -6
