Question

I’m thinking of three consecutive odd integers. When I add the larger two the result is nine less than three times the smallest of them. What are the three consecutive odd integers?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the 3 consecutive odd numbers be n, n+2, n+4.

(n+2) + (n+4) = 3n - 9

Collect like terms

n+n-3n=-9-6

-n=-15

n=15,

n+2=17

n+4=19
