Odd numbers are every other number. So, the expression for the consecutive odd numbers is x, x+2, x+4. To determine x, write out the expressions as an algebraic equation:
(sum of the first two) (is) (five less than three times the third)
x + (x + 2) = 3 * (x + 4) - 5
2x + 2 = 3x + 12 - 5
2x + 2 = 3x + 7
(2x - 3x) = 7 - 2
-x = 5
So, x = -5 and the 3 consecutive numbers are:
-5, -3, and -1.
18, 20 and 22
-1, 1 and 3
There is no set of three consecutive integers for 106.
Their sum is 99.
The sum of the squares of the three consecutive integers 11, 13, 15 = 515
18, 20 and 22
10-11-12
There is no set of three consecutive integers for 187.
-1, 1 and 3
121
There is no set of three consecutive integers for 106.
There is no set of three consecutive integers whose sum is 71.
Their sum is 99.
The sum of three consecutive integers is -72
9240 is the product of the three consecutive integers 20, 21, and 22.
The sum of the squares of the three consecutive integers 11, 13, 15 = 515
The three integers, since they are consecutive, can be listed as a, a+1, and a+2. Twice the first is 2a. Three times the third is 3(a+2) = 3a+6. First make a formula of the information given: 2a+(3a+6)= -24 Next, solve the formula: 5a + 6 = -24 Subtract 6 from each side. 5a = -30 Divide each side by 5. a = -6 The three consecutive numbers are -6, -5, and -4.
