Problema Solution
x represents the firdt, or smallest of 3 odd integers. Express the sum of the three integers in terms of x
Answer provided by our tutors
we assume these are odd consecutive integers, otherwise there is simply not enough information to answer the question in terms of a single variable
if x represents the smallest odd integer, then 'x+2' and 'x+4' represent the next two integers
their sum is then:
x+x+2+x+4 = 3x+6
