1) A set of 3 consecutive odd integers like: x, x +2, x+4 the question says the sum so we can write:
x +x +2 +x +4 = -183 Combine like terms
3x +6 = -183 Subtract 6 from both sides
3x = -189 Divide both sides by 3
x=-63
2) Let's visualize then the set, by plugging into that the unknown value (x) found
(-63, -65, -67)
3) As we are dealing with negative numbers the least of those 3 integers is the farthest from zero. Therefore the answer is -67, the least number of those
