Question

the sum of 3 consecutive odd integers is -15 what are the numbers?

Answer 1

Just using process of elimination, I came up with: -3, -5, -7

-3+-5+-7=-15

Answer 2

No, it has to be consecutive.

Answer 3

omg yea thanks

Answer 4

three consecutive odd numbers: a, a+2, a+4,
so a +a+2 + a+4 = -15 = 3 a + 6

3a = -21,

a = -7,

check: -7, -5, -3 do add to -15. These are consecutive ODD numbers. @lasttccasey was right.
