Question number 2 makes poor sense. "every even integers"?

Question number 1 is clear.
The numbers, for n being any integer, are and the description is from literal conversion into an equation, .
-
Solve for n, and then evaluate the three consecutive odd integers.

1.

Let smallest integer be S

Then middle and largest are: S + 2, and S + 4, respectively

We then get: S + S + 2 = 3(S + 4) + 7

2S + 2 = 3S + 12 + 7

2S + 2 = 3S + 19

2S - 3S = 19 - 2

- S = 17

S, or smallest integer = , or 





You need to do the 2nd by yourself. It'll be good practice for you.
