This topic is relatively simple
Because we know that each term is twice the difference and the sign is opposite, if the sum of the three numbers is negative, only the middle number can be positive. If the first number is - x, then - x + 2x-4x = - 3x = - 96, then x = 32;
So these three numbers are - 32, - 64, - 128
