Four times the largest of three consecutive odd integers is 36 more than the sum of the other

If you know how to solve word problems involving the sum of consecutive even integers, you should be able to easily solve word problems that involve the sum of consecutive odd integers. The key is to have a good grasp of what odd integers are and how consecutive odd integers can be represented.

Odd Integers

If you recall, an even integer is always 22 times a number. Thus, the general form of an even number is n=2kn=2k, where kk is an integer.

So what does it mean when we say that an integer is odd? Well, it means that it’s one less or one more than an even number. In other words, odd integers are one unit less or one unit more of an even number.

Therefore, the general form of an odd integer can be expressed as nn is n=2k-1n=2k−1 or n=2k+1n=2k+1, where kk is an integer.

Observe that if you’re given an even integer, that even integer is always in between two odd integers. For instance, the even integer 44 is between 33 and 55.

Easy I am just not sure on how to solve it please give answer and how I would solve it
Elina [12.6K]

You want to compare the square root of 55 using "mental math". Start off by choosing two perfect squares that you can think of that are close to 55.

If you don't know perfect squares then start with the number 2 and multiply it by itself. 2 times 2 equals 4, so 4 is a perfect square.

Take the number 3, multiply it by itself, and so on. Do this for all the numbers until you find two perfect squares that are close to 55.

The two perfect squares closest to 55 are the square roots of 49 and 64. Find the square root of these numbers.

√49 = 7

√64 = 8

Calculate how far 55 is from 49 and 64. 55 is 6 digits away from 49 and 9 digits away from 64.

This means the square root of 55 will be closer to the square root of 49; 7. Since we know that it will be closer to 7, you can put the less than sign for your answer.

√55 < 7.7

(The actual square root of 55 is ~7.4, so we were correct in determining the answer without using a calculator!)
