Lizzy: There are 3 consecutive odd integers that have a sum of -147. What is the largest number?.
Me: Hmmm, let me think. I think this is the detailed solution:
Let N = smallest number. N + 2 = next number. N + 4 = largest number. N + (N + 2) + (N + 4) =  - 147. 3N + 6 =  - 147. 3N =  - 153. N =  - 51. The largest number is - 47. Final answer: -47.
