THE SURFACE AREA IS 3220CM^2
Let us assume the first odd integer to be = x
Then
The consecutive middle odd integer = x + 2
The third consecutive odd integer = x + 4
So we can now write the equation as
x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 5(x + 2) - 18
3x + 6 = 5x + 10 - 18
3x + 6 = 5x - 8
3x - 5x = - 8 - 6
- 2x = - 14
2x = 14
x = 14/2
= 7
So the first odd integer is 7
The second consecutive odd integer = (x + 2)
= (7 + 2)
= 9
The third consecutive odd integer = (x + 4)
= 7 + 4)
= 11
So the three consecutive odd integers are 7, 9, 11.
Answer:
<u>Equation</u>: 
<u>The balance after 5 years is: $1742.43</u>
<u></u>
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a compound growth problem . THe formula is:

Where
F is future amount
P is present amount
r is rate of interest, annually
n is the number of compounding per year
t is the time in years
Given:
P = 1500
r = 0.03
n = 12 (compounded monthly means 12 times a year)
The compound interest formula modelled by the variables is:

Now, we want balance after 5 years, so t = 5, substituting, we get:

<u>The balance after 5 years is: $1742.43</u>
