Question

Three conseccutive odd integers have a sum of three. What are the numbers?

Answer 1

You have to find three consecutive odd integers whose sum is equal to three.

Let "x" represent the first odd integer.

Then "x+2" will represent the next odd integer.

And "x+4" will represent the third consecutive odd integer.

As mentioned, the sum of the three integers adds up to 3 so that:

`x+(x+2)+(x+4)=3`

From this expression, you can calculate the value of the first integer "x".
