Question

Choose the equation that could be used to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 36. (5 points) Select one: a. n + (n + 2) + (n + 4) = 36 b. n + (n + 1) + (n + 3) = 36 c. n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) = 36 d. n + (n − 1) + (n − 3) = 36

Answer 1

c

Explanation:

Note there is a difference of 1 between consecutive integers.

let an integer be n then then the next one is n + 1 followed by n + 2

Hence

n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) = 36 → C
