Pearl writes down seven consecutive integers, and adds them up. The sum of the integers is equal to $7$ times the largest of the seven integers. What is the smallest integer that Pearl wrote down?

the integers are    n     n+1    n+2   .....   n+6     and summed they equal    7 ( n+6) 

7n + 21 = 7 (n+6)      <==== this can't be true....no answer ....no solution.
