Find 2 consecutive ODD integers whose sum is -88 ANSWER: -45, -43
The integers are -1, 1 and 3.
The sum of any three consecutive odd integers is going to give an odd result. It is impossible for the sum of an odd number of odd integers to equal an even number.
Those three odd integers are 43, 45, and 47.

There is no set of three consecutive odd or even integers whose sum is negative 31.
The integers are -12, -10 and -8.
Divide the sum of the three consecutive odd integers by 3: 225/3 = 75. The smallest of these integers will be two less than 75 and the largest will be two more than 75, so the three consecutive odd integers will be 73, 75, and 77.
They are 24, 25 and 26, as well as the consecutive odd integers 23, 25 and 27.
117/3 = 39, so the three consective odd integers whose sum is 117 are 37, 39, and 41.
