Question 373666: Find three consecutive odd integers such that the sum of the largest and twice the smallest is 25.
If x represents the smallest integer, then which equation could be used to solve the problem? Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
Given that represents the smallest of three consecutive odd integers, the next one must be (because , the next integer would be even) and the one after that is .
Twice the smallest must be , so the sum of the largest plus twice the smallest is:
