The sum of three consecutive odd integers with the given condition.
Answer to Problem 45SGR
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The sum of first two integers is equal to twenty-four less than four times the third integer.
Calculation:
Let the first odd integer be x . Then the next two consecutive odd integers would be
Now as per the given condition, the sum of first two integers is equal to twenty-four less than four times the third integer, so in algebraic notation it can be written as
Now solve it further to get the value of x as shown below,
So, the first odd integer is 5.
And hence the next two consecutive odd integers would be
Thus, the sum of the three consecutive odd integers that satisfy the given condition is,
