Question

The sum of three consecutive odd integers is 189. What
are the integers?

Answer 1

61, 63, 65

Explanation:

n + n+2 + n+4 = 189

3n = 183

n = 61

Answer 2

The three consecutive odd integers are 61, 63, and 65

Explanation:

Let the three consecutive odd integers be:

n + 1, n + 3 and n + 5

Therefore:

n + 1 + n + 3 + n + 5 = 189

3n + 9 = 189

3n = 180

n = 60

n + 1 = 61

n + 3 = 63

n + 5 = 65
