Question 1052151: Find three consecutive odd integers with the property that 3 times the first integer plus twice the second integer is 5 more than twice the third integer Found 2 solutions by ewatrrr, advanced_Learner:Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! three consecutive odd integers x , (x+2), (x+4)
3x + 2(x+2) = 2(x+4) + 5
3x + 2x + 4 = 2x + 8 + 5
3x = 9
x = 3
three consecutive odd integers: 3, 5, 7
checking
9 + 10 = 14 + 5 CHECKS!
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
let x-2,x,x+2 be the odd consecutive integers. +=+ +=+ =+ =+ = =
the numbers are 3,5,7
check
3(3)+2(5)=5+14
19=19
