I guess you mean 3 consecutive integers.
Let the smallest one be x. Then the next two are x + 1 and
x + 2.
The largest plus 5 times the smallest is:
x + 2 + 5x
= 6x + 2.
Therefore:
6x + 2 = -244
6x = -246
Dividing by 6:
x = -41.
The integers are therefore -41, -40 and -39.
Check.
The largest is -39.
5 times the smallest is 5*(-41) = -205.
The sum is -244.
