document.write( "Question 112821: The sum of the lease and greatest of three consecutive odd numbers is 110. what are the integers \n" ); document.write( "
Algebra.Com's Answer #82223 by solver91311(24713)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! If the least of three consecutive odd numbers is x, then the next consecutive odd number would be x + 2, and the greatest of the three would be x + 4. But we are told that the sum of the least and the greatest is 110. So we can write:\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now all we have to do is solve for x.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Remembering that the question asks for all three of the integers, the complete answer becomes:\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Check the answer:\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "53, 55, and 57 are three consecutive odd integers. The least is 53 and the greatest is 57 and \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "John \n" ); document.write( " |
