Let's denote the three consecutive odd integers as x, x+2, and x+4. Since they are odd integers, they are separated by 2 units. The sum of these integers can be represented as x + (x+2) + (x+4) = 3x + 6. Given that the sum is -72, we can set up the equation 3x + 6 = -72 and solve for x. Subtracting 6 from both sides, we get 3x = -78. Dividing by 3, we find x = -26. Therefore, the sum of the three consecutive odd integers is -72.
