We have three consecutive odd integers, To make it easy, I am going to choose the one in the middle to be called X. Therefore, the first odd integer will be called (X-2) and the third odd integer will be called (X+2). The fourth odd integer will be called (X+4).
So the sum of the first three, is (X-2) + (X) + (X+2) or X+X+X -2 +2 this equals 3X.
Then, 3X -18 equals the fourth odd integer which is (X+4), so 3X - 18 = X + 4
Subtract an X from each side for 2X - 18 = 4. Add 18 to each side for 2X = 22. Solve for X, X equals 11. So the first consecutive odd integer is 11-2 or 9, the third is 11+2 or 13 and the fourth is X + 4 or 15. To Check, 9 + 11 + 13 = 33. 15 + 18 = 33
Since we know that the integers are even and consecutive, we can call them x, x+2, x+4, and x+6, with x being the smallest of the four. twice the sum of the second and third can be written as 2(x+2+x+4)=4x+12 the sum of the first and fourth increased by 14 is x+x+6+14=2x+20 Then we can solve 4x+12=2x+20-->2x=8-->x=4 4
Consecutive means one after another.If the first is a, then the second is a+1.The sum of these isa + a + 1 = 2a+1 = -3772a = -378a = -189So the two numbers are -189 and -188
Let the first odd integer be x, then the second one is x + 2. So we have: x + (x + 2) = 52 2x + 2 = 52 subtract 2 to both sides 2x = 50 divide by 2 to both sides x = 25 Thus, the first number is 25. Since consecutive odd integers grow by 2, then the second is 27, the third is 29, the fourth is 31, and the fifth integer is 33. So the sum of the last two integers is 64 ( 31 + 33).
(2x - 1) + (2x + 1) = 524x = 52x = 13The first 2 of 5 consecutive odd integers are 25 and 27.(Check: 25 + 27 = 52 yay!)The last 2 of 5 are 31 and 33.Their sum is 64.
Consecutive integers could be thought of as counting numbers in a row. One of them is "lowest" and the next one will be one more than that, and the last one will be one more than the second one. The numbers 7, 8 and 9 and 46, 47 and 48 are each said to be three consecutive integers. You often come across a question that tells you that 3 consecutive integers add up to a value. Example 3 consecutive integers add to 6. What are the integers? Let the first integer be x the second is then x +1 the third x+2 add them x+x+1+x+2 =3x+3 and this would be equal to 6. we then have the equation 3x+3=6 3x=3 x=1 so the first integer is 1, the second would be 2 and the third 3
-7
9,10,11,12
The sum of the first four non-negative, consecutive, even integers is 20.
Let the first consecutive integer be x. So that:the second integer is x + 1,the third integer is x + 2, andthe fourth integer is x + 3.We have:(x + 1) + (x + 3) = 1322x + 4 = 1322x = 128x = 64 the first integerThus, the four consecutive integers are 64, 65, 66, and 67.
The first integer is 17.
The first integer is 44.
Let the three consecutive integers be n, n + 1 and n + 2. Then (n + 1) + (n + 2) = n/2 + 33 2n + 3 = n/2 + 33 : 4n + 6 = n + 66 : 3n = 60 : n = 20 The three numbers are 20, 21 and 22.
The first two consecutive prime numbers that have a difference of 20 are the numbers 887 and 907.
Since we know that the integers are even and consecutive, we can call them x, x+2, x+4, and x+6, with x being the smallest of the four. twice the sum of the second and third can be written as 2(x+2+x+4)=4x+12 the sum of the first and fourth increased by 14 is x+x+6+14=2x+20 Then we can solve 4x+12=2x+20-->2x=8-->x=4 4
The integers would begin with 10.
The 3 consecutive odd positive integers are 7, 9 and 11.
24. The second is 26.
