Question

Find 3 consecutive integers whose sum is 573

Answer 1

Hey! Hope that I can help!

If we use $x$, $x$+2, and $x$+4 as our 3 consecutive odd integers, we get this equation: $x$ + $x$ + 2+ $x$ + 4 = 573. After putting that into simpler terms, we get this: 3$x$ + 6 = 573. Then we subtact 6 from both sides. We get 3$x$ = 567. 567 ÷ 3 = 189.
x = 189.
