I know the answer to be 19, 21, and 23. If I use n+n+2+n+4=63. I can't make the 2n+1 work. Found 2 solutions by Alan3354, Theo:Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The expression 2n+1 represents an odd integer. Write an expression to find three consecutive odd integers whose sum is 63.
I know the answer to be 19, 21, and 23. If I use n+n+2+n+4=63. I can't make the 2n+1 work.
----------
2n+1 is an odd number for all integers n.
You don't have to make it work.
========================
Write an expression to find three consecutive odd integers whose sum is 63.
---
n + n+2 + n+4 = 63 The hard way
-----
n-2 + n + n+2 = 63 Better
----
63/3 = 21, the middle integer, the Best way.
