Answer:

Three consecutive number are -119, -118 , -117 .

Explanation:

Given: Sum of three consecutive integers . −354.

To find: Three consecutive integers .

Solution: We have given that

Let first consecutive number x , x+1 , x+2

According to question

Sum of three consecutive number

x + x+1 +x+2 =-354

Combine like term

3x+3 = -354

On subtracting by 3 both side

3x + 3 -3 = -354 -3

3x = -357

On dividing by 3 both side


(3x)/(3)= (-357)/(3)

So, x = - 119

first number = -119

second number = x+1 = -119 +1 = -118

Third number = x+2 = -119 +2 = -117

Therefore,three consecutive number are -119, -118 , -117 .
