The sum of three consecutive integers is -75. what is the value of the smallest of the three integers?

pls help. thank you :)

Suppose 3 consecutive integers are X-1,X,X+1

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum = X-1+X+X+1= -78

            3X=-78

             X= -78/3

             X= -26

3 consecutive integers are, -27, -26,-25.

smallest integer is -27

the answer is a

step-by-step explanation:

39.00 x 24 = total installment price

carrying installment price - cash price

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
