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?     

 

(x) + (x+1) + (x+2) + (x+3) + (x+4) + (x+5) + (x+6)  =  7 • (x+6)     

                                                                   7x + 21  =  7x + 42     

the problem has no solution
