You can put this solution on YOUR website! find 3 consecutive odd integers
x, (x+2), (x+4)
:
such that:-
2nd no. multiplied by 3, minus(-) 3rd no., = 17 + 1st no.
3(x+2) - (x+4) = 17 + x
3x + 6 - x - 4 = 17 + x
3x - x + 6 - 4 = 17 + x
2x + 2 = 17 + x
2x - x = 17 - 2
x = 15
:
Find the nos: 15, 17, 19 are the three nos.
:
:
check in the statement:
"2nd no. multiplied by 3, minus(-) 3rd no., = 17 + 1st no."
3(17) - 19 = 17 + 15
51 - 19 = 32; confirms our solution
