Answer:

11 13 15 17 19

Step-by-step explanation:

We will solve this word problem using 2k+1 which is one of the general forms of an odd integer.

Let 2k+1 be the first odd integer.

(2k+1) + (2k+3) + (2k +5) =  (2k+7) + (2k +9) + 3 (the +3 is to accommodate for the left side being 3 more than the right)

Solve for k

6k + 9 = 4k + 19

6k - 4k + 9 = 4k-4k + 19

2k + 9 = 19

2k + 9 - 9 = 19 - 9

2k = 10

2k/2 = 10/2

k = 5

To get the first digit in the series plug in 5 for k

2k+1

2(5) + 1

10 + 1 = 11

So our series is 11, 13, 15, 17, 19

Let's test it.

11 + 13 +15 = 39

17 + 19 = 36

So we are correct, the first 3 integers are 3 more that the sum of the last 2.

Look at the remaining trees and the number of oranges they produced.
41790 oranges were produced.
Each tree produced 210 oranges.
The number of remaining trees is 41790/210.
Originally, there we 5 more trees.
The original number of trees is 41790/210 + 5

The equation is
t = 41790/210 + 5

Now we evaluate the right side.
t = 199 + 5
t = 204

The original number of orange trees is 204,

what is consecutive whole numbers? I have to write an algebraic expression for the sum of three consecutive whole numbers... :(
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

Consecutive whole numbers (or integers) are numbers that directly follow one another.

Eg: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 are consecutive whole numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Three consecutive even integers can be represented by x, x+2, x+4. The sum is 3x+6, which is equal to 108.

or

let the three consecutive whole numbers is x, x+1,and x+2

x + x+1 + x+2 = 4+2(x+1)

3x+3=4+2x+2

3x-2x=6-3

x=3

the other two numbers are 3+1=4,and 3+2=5

so the three numbers are 3,4 and 5
