Easy way
-21÷3=-7 which is the exact center so
-6, -7, -8
Equation
x + (x+1) + (x+2) = -21
3x + 3 = -21
3x=-24
x=-8
x+1=-7
x+2=-6
2. Consecutive Odd Integers
X, X+2, X+4
X + (X+2) + (X+4) = 144
3X+6=144
3X=144-6=138
X = 138/3 = 46 .....There are no 3 odd Integers that can equal an even integer
3. 3 consecutive even number x, x+2, x+4
X + (X+2) + (X+4) = 48
3X+6=48
3X=48-6=42
X=42/3=14
14, 16, 18
When radicals (square roots) include variables, they are still simplified the same way. We just have to work with variables as well as numbers
1) Factor the radicand (the numbers/variables inside the square root). Factor the number into its prime factors and expand the variable(s).
2) Bring any factor listed twice in the radicand to the outside

Answer:
1.2
Step-by-step explanation:
=
= 1.2
N and n+2 because if n=1 then you do 1+2 and that equals 3. So then you have 1,3
