Question

If 8 is subtracted from the third of three consecutive odd integers and the result is multiplied by 2 ​, the answer is 29 less than the sum of the first and twice the second of the integers. Find the integers

Answer 1

I will call the 3rd consecutive odd integer . The only difficulty would be setting up the equation based on the words, but I don’t think it is too bad.

2(−6)=(−4)+2(−2)−29

2−12=−4+2−4−29

2−12=3−37

=25

Therefore, the 3 numbers are {21,23,25}
