Problema Solution
Find the sum of three consecutive odd integers if the sum of the first two integers is equal to twenty-four less than four times the third integer.
Answer provided by our tutors
let '2n+1' represent the smallest integer, then '2n+3' and '2n+5' represent the next two consecutive odd integers
2n+1 + 2n+3 = 4(2n+5) - 24
solving for 'n' we have n=2
2*2+1 = 5
the numbers are 5, 7 and 9
