Question

For 3 consecutive odd integers, the result of adding the smallest integer to four times the largest integer is 121. What are the 3 integer?

Answer 1

Answer: 21, 23, 25

Explanation:

Let the integers be y, y+2 and y+4.

From the question, we are informed that the result of adding the smallest integer to four times the largest integer is 121. This can be mathematically expressed as:

y + 4(y+4) = 121

y + 4y + 16 = 121

5y + 16 = 121

5y = 121-16

5y = 105

y = 105/5

y = 21

Since y = 21,

y + 2 = 21 + 2 = 23

y + 4 = 21 + 4 = 25

The integers are 21,23 and 25
