Question

Find three consecutive odd integers such that the sum of the first, two times the second, and three times the third is 70

Answer 1

9, 11 and 13

Explanation:

Let the integers be x, x + 2, x + 4.

x + 2(x + 2) + 3(x + 4) = 70

x + 2x + 4 + 3x + 12 = 70

6x = 54

x = 9

therefore the three integers are 9, 11 and 13
