Find 3 consecutive odd integers whose sum is 303. What is the value of the 3rd odd integer?
.
Let x = 1st consecutive odd integer
then
x+2 = 2nd consecutive odd integer
x+4 = 3rd consecutive odd integer
.
x + x+2 + x+4 = 303
3x+6 = 303
3x = 297
x = 99 (1st consecutive odd integer)
.
3rd consecutive odd integer:
x+4 = 99+4 = 103
