Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 2n+1 be the first odd integer.

Therefore, the consecutive odd integers will be 2n+3 and 2n+5

If the sum of the consecutive odd integers is 51 then:

⇒ 2n + 1 + 2n + 3 + 2n + 5 = 51

⇒ 6n + 9 = 51

⇒ 6n = 42

⇒ n = 7

To find the values of the integers, substitute the found value of n into the expressions:

  • First integer:       2(7) + 1 = 15
  • Second integer:  2(7) + 3 = 17
  • Third integer:      2(7) + 5 = 19

Therefore, the three consecutive odd integers that sum to 51 are <u>15, 17 and 19</u>.  The smallest of which is 15.

notka56 [123]
Consecutive even integers are 2 apart
they are
x,x+2,x+4
total sum is 60
x+x+2+x+4=60
3x+6=60
minus 6 both sides
3x=54
divide both sides by 3
x=18
x+2=20
x+4=22
