Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

In the last equation, x is the first integer, x + 1 is the next one, and x + 2 is the third integer. Now, combine like terms.

3x + 3 = -33

Subtract 3 from both sides

3x = -36

Divide by 3

x = -12

Adding 1 and 2 gives -11 and -10.  

Now check your answer.

-12 + -11 + -10 = -33.
