I have a problem with understanding the consecutive integers in word problems. My problem to solve is \"Find three consecutive odd integers whose sum is 183.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I tried x, x+1,x+3.
\n" ); document.write( "But I do not think that is correct...
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "That not correct.
\n" ); document.write( "Consecutive integers --> x, x+1, x+2
\n" ); document.write( "Like 7, 8, 9 or 100, 101, 102
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "So,
\n" ); document.write( "x + (x+1) + (x+2) = 183
\n" ); document.write( "3x + 3 = 183
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 180
\n" ); document.write( "x = 60
\n" ); document.write( "--> 60, 61, 62
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Better is
\n" ); document.write( "x = middle number
\n" ); document.write( "(x-1) + x + (x+1) = 183
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 183
\n" ); document.write( "x = 61, etc.
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Even better:
\n" ); document.write( "183/3 = 61 the middle number, etc
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
