Question 293274: the 1st and 3rd of three consective integers are odd integers are added, the result is 69 less than five times the second integer. Find the third integer
familiarize with steps
x = odd integer
x + 2 = 2nd Odd Integer
x + 4 = 3rd Odd integer
Translate
x + (x + 4) is 1st PLUS 3rd integer
69 - 5(x + 2) is 69 less than 5 times the 2nd integer
the 1st odd integer plus the 3rd consective odd integer [x + (x+4)] equals the sum of 69 less than 5(x + 2) the 2nd integer
x + (x + 4 ) = 69 - 5(x + 2)
2x + 4 = 69 - 5x - 10
2x + 4 = 59 - 5x
2x = 55 - 5x
7x = 55
This does not get me a whole number to test the answer for odd consective integers.
