Hi again,
As to odd integers, they differ by 2, let n,(n+2),(n+4)represent them
.
the odd integers that the sum of the first and third is 33 more the second
n +(n + 4) = (n+2) +33
.
Simplify and solve for n.
Then list n,(n+2), (n+4) as being the 3 odd consecutive integers
Hi
Note: consecutive interger differ by 1. Let x, 9x+1),x+2) represent the integers.
.
Question states
n + (n+2) = (n+1) +33
n = 32
n =
Intergers are 32,33 and 34
,
check your answer
32 + 34 = 33 + 33
.
twice the largerst is equal to the sum of thetwo smallest ones
Write as you Read and Solve
.
2(n+2) = n + (n+1)
