The sum of three consecutive integers is -33. Find the middle integer.
Use n for the first integer, n + 1 for the second integer and n + 2 for the third integer.

Answer 1

n+(n+1)+(n+2)=-33
Then
3n+3=-33
3n=-36
So n=-12
n+1 is -11
n+2 is -10
So the middle integer is -11

Answer 2

Answer:

middle number = -11

Step-by-step explanation:

n + ( n + 1 ) + ( n + 2 ) = -33

n + n + n + 1 + 2 = -33

3n + 3 = -33

    -3        -3

3n = -36

/3      /3

n = -12

-12+ 1 = -11

Check:

-12 + -11 + -10 = -33
