There are 3 consecutive odd integers that have a sum of -147. What is the largest number?
Think hard. Detailed solution:
-47
Let N = smallest number.

N + 2 = next number.

N + 4 = largest number.

N + (N + 2) + (N + 4) =  - 147.

3N + 6 =  - 147.

3N =  - 153.

N =  - 51.

The largest number is - 47.

The answer is -47
