Question 27820: I have one more problem that is due tomarrow please help.
The perimeter of a triangle is 207MM. If the lengths of the sides are consecutive odd integers, find the length of each side. I'm really not for sure how to sit up the equation. Thank you

Because all of the sides are "consecutive odd integers" the 3 sides can be written as x, x+2, and x+4. (Example, if the first one was 7, the second would be 7+2=9, and the third would be 7+4=11).
We're told that the perimeter is 207, so that means all three must add up to 207. Write this as:

The three sides are 67, 69, and 71.
Check.
