Answer:

I don't know if you want the beginning to so-

Variable - A unknown value represented by a set letter.

4x+6 = 26

(Incase: Subtract 6 from 6, and 6 from 26. 6 cancels out, and 26-6 is 20. Divide both sides by 4. And x=5)

And the answer to the question is: -27 is the smallest, and then the 3 consecutive numbers are -27, -28, and -29.
