Algebra.Com's Answer #501005 by Edwin McCravy(20065) You can put this solution on YOUR website! sum of 2 consecutive multiples of 3 is 69. find them. \n" ); document.write( " \r\n" ); document.write( "The trick here is to realize that \r\n" ); document.write( "\r\n" ); document.write( "\"2 consecutive multiples of 3\"\r\n" ); document.write( "\r\n" ); document.write( "means \r\n" ); document.write( "\r\n" ); document.write( "\"2 consecutive integers, each multiplied by 3\"\r\n" ); document.write( "\r\n" ); document.write( "Let the first consecutive integer be n\r\n" ); document.write( "Then the second consecutive integer is n+1\r\n" ); document.write( "\r\n" ); document.write( "So,\r\n" ); document.write( "\r\n" ); document.write( "the first consecutive multiple of 3 is 3n \r\n" ); document.write( "the second consecutive multiple of 3 is 3(n+1)\r\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "sum of 2 consecutive multiples of 3 is 69 \n" ); document.write( " \r\n" ); document.write( "So,\r\n" ); document.write( "\r\n" ); document.write( "3n + 3(n+1) = 69\r\n" ); document.write( "\r\n" ); document.write( "Solve that and get the the two consecutive integers,\r\n" ); document.write( "then get the two consecutive multiples of 3.\r\n" ); document.write( "\r\n" ); document.write( "Edwin\n" ); document.write( " |
