The sum: addition or \"added together\"
\n" ); document.write( "three consecutive odd integers: x+2 and x+4
\n" ); document.write( "is 201: =201\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(x+2)+(x+4)=201 [Simplify]
\n" ); document.write( "x+2+x+4=201
\n" ); document.write( "2x+6=201 [Solve for x]
\n" ); document.write( "2x+6-6=201-6
\n" ); document.write( "2x=195
\n" ); document.write( "2x/2=195/2
\n" ); document.write( "x=97.5 +2 = 99.5 is the first integer
\n" ); document.write( "x+1 or 97.5+4=101.5 is the second integer
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore 99.5+101.5=201
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Check by plugging (x=97.5) back into the original equation:
\n" ); document.write( "(x+2)+(x+4)=201
\n" ); document.write( "(97.5+2)+(97.5+4)=201
\n" ); document.write( "201=201 [Checks out]
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "If the problem ask for \"consecutive numbers\" use:
\n" ); document.write( "x=the first consecutive number
\n" ); document.write( "x+1=the second consecutive number
\n" ); document.write( "x+3=the third consecutive number
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "If the problem ask for consecutive \"odd\" or consecutive \"even\" numbers use:
\n" ); document.write( "x+2=the first consecutive number
\n" ); document.write( "x+4=the second consecutive number
\n" ); document.write( "x+6= the third consecutive number, etc.\r
