Question

If n represents an odd integer, write expressions in terms of n that represent the next three consecutive odd integers. If the four consecutive odd integers have a sum of 56, find the numbers.

Answer 1

The numbers are 11, 13, 15, 17.

Explanation:

The 4 consecutive odd integers are n , n+2, n+4, n+6.

n + n + 2 + n + 4 + n + 6 = 56

4n = 56 - 2 - 4 - 6

4n = 44

n = 11,
