Answer:

-31

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the first integer

x+1 is the second integer

x+2  is the third integer

x+ x+1 + x+2 = -96

Combine like terms

3x+3 = -96

Subtract 3 from each side

3x+3-3 = -96-3

3x =-99

Divide by 3

3x/3 = -99/3

x = -33

The integers are

-33

-33+1 = -32

-33+2 = -31

The largest integer is -31
