Question 91652
Write an algebraic equation representing the following sentence: The sum of three consecutive odd integers is 45. 
x + (x+2) + (x+4)
--------------------------

Solve the following equation and show your work:
4(x – 12) = -4(14 – x) 
4x-48 = -56 + 4x
-48 = - 56
This is a contradiction.
There is no solution for your equation.
