ok so let the 3 integers be x, x-2 and x+2. so x + x - 2 + x + 2 = -78, 3*x = -78, x = -26. so the 3 integers are    -24,-26,-28

divide -78 by 3 to get -26. now the next 2 numbers are the number in front of -26, and the number behind it. answer: -25, -26, -27.hope this helps!  :)

OH OIGEBUSDUOG. sorry. i was wrong. lol. its -24, -26, -28. the same rule applies even with even and odd integers. you do the same thing except uses the numbers that are 2 away from 26 on both sides. if that makes sense. lol.
