Question

When three consecutive even intrgers are added the sum is zero find the jntegers? how to solve

Answer 1

let the three integers be x,x+1,x+2

their sum is zero

therefore, x+x+2+x+3=0

x+6=0

2x=(-6)

x=-3

so integers are -3,-2,-1

Answer 2

let the integers be x,x+1,x+2
sum of the numbers is 0
therefore, x+x+1+x+2=0
3x+3=0
3(x+1)=0
x+1=0
x= -1

so,the numbers are x= -1
x+1=-1+1=0
x+2=-1+2=1
