Question

Rocky thinks of an odd integer adds the next two consecutive integer which of these could be the sum

Answer 1

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let x be the odd integer. Let y be the sum.

x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = y

3x + 3 = y

Adding two consecutive integers to an odd integer will result in an even integer.

So, you can eliminate choices B and D since they are odd.

Lastly, plug in choices A and C for y and choose the answer that makes x an integer.

Choice C would give you the correct result.

3x + 3 = 44562

3x = 44559

x = 14853
