Question 26112: I was not sure which catagory to submit this question under. So here goes.
When dealing with integers in word problems, I do not understand what is fully meant by even or odd consecutive integers. For example, it might say add three odd (or even) consecutive integers. To me, odd infer 1,3,5,7... even infers 0,2,4,6... So, X plus the next consecutive odd integers is??! do you understand my question, and can you steer me straight.
Thank you! Drew Lurie
