Question

The sum of three consecutive odd integers is 237. What are the integers?

Answer 1

77 79 81 are the correct anws

Answer 2

Answer is 77 and 79 and 81

Step by step

We will use x and x+2 and x+4 for our odd integers

x + x+2 + x+4 = 237

3x + 6 = 237

Subtract 6 from both sides to isolate x

3x +6 -6 = 237 -6

3x = 231

Divide both sides by 3 to solve for x

x = 77

Now we finish the other two integers

x +2 = 79
x + 4 = 81
