Question 68499: The sum of three consecutive odd integers is 201. Find the integers.
I am having a hard time trying to find the intergers to this one, and needing help. Thanks Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Even numbers are symbolized as "2n"
Odd numbers are symbolized as "2n+1"
----------------------
1st odd # = 2n+1
2nd odd # = 2n+3
3rd odd # = 2n+5
-------------------
EQUATION:
2n+1 + 2n+3 + 2n+5 = 201
6n+9 = 201
6n = 192
n = 32
------------
1st odd number = 2(32)+1= 65
2nd is 67
3rd is 69
----------------
