Bethany wrote the equation X+ (x+2)+(x+4) - 91 when she was told that the sum of three consecutive odd integers had a
sum of 91. What statement about her equation is true?

Answer 1

The numbers could be consecutive odd but they are not integers if they have the sum of 91.

I cannot clarify my answer because you did not provide choices for the statements..

Explanation:

Since the sum of three consecutive odd integers had a sum of 91, you should first simplify. Let's test if the numbers are really integers or odd integers at all.

x+(x+2)+(x+4)=91

x+x+2+x+4=91 ←Remove parentheses

3x+6=91← Add the same variables together

3x=91-6 ←Move 6 to the other side

3x=85

x= Answer is not an integer...

The numbers could be consecutive odd but they are not integers
