Question

Find three consecutive odd integers that have a sum of 9. Order them from least to greatest.

Answer 1

3 consecutive odd integers...x, x + 2, and x + 4

x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 9
3x + 6 = 9
3x = 9 - 6
3x = 3
x = 1

x + 2 = 1 + 2 = 3
x + 4 = 1 + 4 = 5

so ur integers, from least to greatest, are : 1,3,5
