Question

Which of the following equations will represent this scenario:

The sum of three consecutive odd numbers is 105.
1( 3x + 6 = 105
O x + x + x = 105
x+ (x+2) + (x+4) - 105
3x = 105

Answer 1

Answer is C.

x+(x+2)+(x+4)=105

Simplifies to 3x+6=105

Solve for x. x=33, x+2=35. x+4=37

33+35+37= 105

Answer 2

A and C

Explanation:

x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 105 Combine like terms on the left

3x + 6 = 105

It's A

3x = 99

=============

x = 33

x+2 = 35

x + 4 = 37

The total is 105
