∙ 14y agoFollowing a 4 step process, the stated problem can be solved as follows:
Step 1: Define the variable(s)
Let x = the first consecutive negative integer
Let x+1 = the second consecutive negative integer
Let x+2 = the third consecutive negative integer
Step 2: Write an equation
x + (x+1) + (x+2) = -237
Step 3: Solve the equation
Drop the parenthesis as they were not needed... just added to show that the equation involved adding the three integers as defined in step 1. Adding like terms provides the next step.
3x + 3 = -237
Subtracting 3 from each side yields:
3x = -240
Dividing both sides by 3 yields the following:
x = -80
Step 4: Answer the question
Using the variables in step one, the three numbers would be as follows:
x = the first consecutive negative integer = -80
x+1 = the second consecutive negative integer = -79
x+2 = the third consecutive negative integer = -78

Find consecutive negative integers whose sum is 110?
There is no solution.Consecutive negative integers will always add up to a negative number. 110 is positive.
What are four consecutive numbers that add up to 36?
This is impossible - no four consecutive integers add to 36.
What are three consecutive odd integers that add up to -27?
The integers are -11, -9 and -7.
What are two consecutive integers add up to 26?
This is impossible, in mathematical terms. If you take two consecutive integers, then one of the integers must be odd and the other must be even. When you add an odd number to an even number, the result is always an odd number. Here, you said two consecutive integers add up to 26, which is an even number. Therefore, the answer is "No real solutions."

What is the sum 98 find the smaller number The consecutive integers?
No two consecutive integers can add up to 98.No three consecutive integers can add up to 98.But 23, 24, 25, and 26 can.
What are four consecutive numbers that add up to 36?
This is impossible - no four consecutive integers add to 36.
What are the 6 consecutive integers starting with -3?
Start with "-3", then add one at a time to get as many consecutive integers as you want.
How do you add and subbtract positive and negative integers?
When adding negative integers, you subtract. (2+-1=1) When subtracting negative integers, you add. (2--3=5)
Is the answer to adding two negative integers a positive or negative?
When you add two negative integers, the answer is still negative.
If you add integers that are negative then your answer will be positive?
No. Adding negative integers will result in an integer that is more negative.
The sum of four consecutive even integers is the same as the least of the integers Find the integers?
-4, -2, 0, and 2 are the four consecutive even integers. When you add them up they equal -4.
What is three consecutive even integers whose sum is 36?
10 12 14 are the consecutive even integers which add up to 36
Which two consecutive integers add to 315?
