Question

Find three consecutive odd integers with a sum of 75

Answer 1

Answer:

23, 25, 27

Step-by-step explanation:

first integer will be X, second will be (X+2), and the third will be (X+4). They will all be summed up and set equal to 75.

$(x) + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 75$

combine like terms:

$3x + 6 = 75$

subtract 6:

$3x = 69$

divide by 3 to find value of X:

$\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{69}{3}$

$x = 23$

plug in X in o red der to finger the rest of the integers.

(X+2)= (23+2)=25

(X+4)= (23+4)=27
