Answer:
The smallest integer is -27 and the integers are -27, -26, and -25
Step-by-step explanation:
We can represent this with:
x + x - 1 + x - 2 = -78
Simplify.
3x - 3 = -78
Add 3 to both sides.
3x = -75
Divide both sides by 3.
x = -25
So, the first integer is -25.
Subtract two to get the smallest integer.
-25 - 2 = - 27
