Question 846804: Suppose that n represents a positive even integer. What expression represents the next even integer? the next odd integer? I am thinking of three consecutive even integers, whose sum is 204. What are they?
(continued) Find three consecutive odd numbers whose sum is 117. Find two ways to do this.

x+x+2+x+4=204
3x+6=204
3x=198
x=66
66 68 70
x+x+2+x+4=117
3x+6=117
3x=111
x=37
37,39 41
117/3=39
39 is the middle term
37 39 41
