the sum of three consecutive odd integers is equal to 15 more than twice the middle integer what are the three integers

1 answer:

7 0

Odd integers are 2 apart

the 3 consecutive odd numbers are x,x+2, x+4

sum is x+x+2+x+4 or 3x+6

the sum is 15 more than 2 times middle one
3x+6=15+2(x+2)
3x+6=15+2x+4
3x+6=19+2x
minus 2x both side
x+6=19
minus 6 both sides
x=13

x+2=15
x+4=17

they are 13,15,17

I need the answer and if you would please explain step by step

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

x=17

Step-by-step explanation:

well the triangles are congruent so that equation has to equal 61, so set it equal to 61, once you do that subtract 10 with 61 giving you 51, then divide 3 with 51 and you get 17

$3x + 10 = 61 \\ 3x = 51 \\ x = 17$
