Question

The sum of three consecutive odd integers is 951 What are the integers

Answer 1

315, 317, and 319

Explanation:

So first we have to set the equation up. Since it is odd, we would write

`(x-2)+x+(x+2)=951`

where x is the middle integer. This gets you

`3x=951`

Solving for x we get

`x=317`

Since x was the middle, we subtract 2 and add 2 and put them together in ascending order, or 315, 317, and 319.
