Find three consecutive integers with a sum of -133 Image to Crop

The sum of three consecutive integers equals -133. What are the three numbers?

Set up an equation where our numbers are n, n + 1, and n + 2
n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) = -133

Group variables and constants together:

(n + n + n) + 1 + 2 = -133
3n + 3 = -133

Subtract 3 from each side:

3n + 3 - 3 = -133 - 3

Cancel the 3 on the left side and we get:

3n = -136

Divide each side of the equation by 3 to isolate n:

Cancel the 3 on the left side:

n = -45.333333333333

Since n is not an integer, there are not three consecutive integers which add up to -133
