1. Problem Description

The problem asks to find four consecutive integers whose sum is -
3
0.

2. Solution Steps

Let the four consecutive integers be n,n+1,n+2,n, n+1, n+2, and n+3n+3.
Their sum is given as -
3

0. Therefore, we can write the equation:

n+(n+1)+(n+2)+(n+3)=30n + (n+1) + (n+2) + (n+3) = -30
Combine the terms on the left side:
4n+6=304n + 6 = -30
Subtract 6 from both sides:
4n=3064n = -30 - 6
4n=364n = -36
Divide both sides by 4:
n=364n = \frac{-36}{4}
n=9n = -9
The four consecutive integers are:
n=9n = -9
n+1=9+1=8n+1 = -9 + 1 = -8
n+2=9+2=7n+2 = -9 + 2 = -7
n+3=9+3=6n+3 = -9 + 3 = -6

3. Final Answer

The four integers are -9, -8, -7, -6.
