Question

Find three consecutive odd integers such that

Answer 1

Answer:

17, 19, 21

Step-by-step explanation:

x = first number

x+2 = second number

x+4 = third number

4x + 3(x+2) + 2(x+4) = 167

simplify:

4x + 3x + 6 + 2x + 8 = 167

combine like terms:

9x + 14 = 167

subtract 14 from each side of the equation:

9x = 153

divide both sides by 9:

x = 17
