SOLUTION: which one of these is the sum of three consecutive odd integers is 72? x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 72 x + (x + 1) + (x + 3) = 72 x + (x + 2) + ( x + 4) = 72 2x + 6 =

Question 148475: which one of these is the sum of three consecutive odd integers is 72?
x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 72
x + (x + 1) + (x + 3) = 72
x + (x + 2) + ( x + 4) = 72
2x + 6 = 72

If, we have consecutive ODD integers, this would mean that there is a separation of 2 between each integer. Take for example, if the first integer was 3 -- then, the next two are 5 and 7 -- notice there is a difference of 2 between each integer.
.
therefore,
x + (x + 2) + ( x + 4) = 72
would be your correct answer.
