Let's represent the three consecutive odd integers as x, x+2, and x+4. Since odd integers are spaced two units apart, the sum of these integers can be expressed as x + (x+2) + (x+4) = 3x + 6. We are given that this sum equals -237, so we can set up the equation 3x + 6 = -237. Solving for x, we find x = -81. Therefore, the three consecutive odd integers are -81, -79, and -77.
There is no solution.Consecutive negative integers will always add up to a negative number. 110 is positive.
The integers are -11, -9 and -7.

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."
If the larger of the two integers is negative, then their sum is negative, regardless of the sign of the smaller one.
