The sum of three consective odd integers is 27\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Show equation.
\n" ); document.write( "When we are counting odd numbers, we're counting by 2's.
\n" ); document.write( "1,1+2,1+2+2,1+2+2+2,...=1,3,5,7
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore,
\n" ); document.write( "Let the 1st integer be: x
\n" ); document.write( "Then the 2nd integer is: x+2
\n" ); document.write( "Then the 3rd integer is:x+2+2=x+4
\n" ); document.write( "Sum means add.
\n" ); document.write( "The equation to solve is:
\n" ); document.write( "(x)+(x+2)+(x+4)=27
\n" ); document.write( "x+x+2+x+4=27
\n" ); document.write( "3x+6=27
\n" ); document.write( "3x+6-6=27-6
\n" ); document.write( "3x=21
\n" ); document.write( "3x/3=21/7
\n" ); document.write( "x=7
\n" ); document.write( "The 1st integer is:x=7
\n" ); document.write( "The 2nd integer is:x+2=7+2=9
\n" ); document.write( "The 3rd integer is:x+4=7+4=11
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check, do these three integers add up to 27?
\n" ); document.write( "Yes, 7+9+11=27, so we're right!!!
\n" ); document.write( "Happy Calculating!!! \n" ); document.write( "
