Hi, so the sum of three consecutive integers is negative 27.
00:07
What is the product of the smallest and largest of the three? okay, so the sum means we're adding things together to create negative 27.
00:16
We're adding three things together, and they're consecutive.
00:18
What that means, all right, so the smallest one, let's call it x.
00:21
Okay, so that's the smallest one.
00:22
Consecutive means like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, so like, what would be next? it would be, well, i'd be adding one more than x, so that means i'd be adding x plus 1.
00:33
That'd be the next one.
00:34
And what would be after that? well, it would be after x plus 1, then i'd be, well, x plus 2.
00:41
These would be the three consecutive ones, x, x plus 1, x plus 2.
00:46
And those equal negative 27.
00:49
All right.
00:51
X, at x and x is 3x...
