Problema Solution
find the three consecutive odd integers such that their sum decreased by the second equalls 50
Answer provided by our tutors
The odd integers are x, x+2, and x+4 (they differ by 2).
We have
[x + (x + 2) + (x + 4)] - (x + 2) = 50
x + (x + 4) = 50
2x + 4 = 50
2x = 46
x = 23
THe next two integers are 25 and 27.
Answers: 23, 25, and 27
To check: (23 + 25 + 27) - 25 = 75 - 25 = 50
