Problema Solution

find three consecutive odd integers such that the sum of the first, two times the second, and three times the third is 82

Answer provided by our tutors

let '2n+1' represent the first odd integer, then '2n+3' and '2n+5' represent the next two consecutive odd integers


(2n+1) + 2(2n+3) + 3(2n+5) = 82

solving for 'n' we have n=5


2*5+1 = 11


the consecutive odd integers are 11, 13, and 15
