The sum of 2 consecutive numbers cannot be 118, because you cannot get an even number when you add an even and an odd number.
There are no such answers. The sum of even numbers is even. The sum of odd numbers could be even, but the sum of three consecutive odd numbers is always odd. One could swap the questions to get potentially answerable questions: Sum of 3 consecutive EVEN integers = 150 48 + 50 + 52 = 150 unfortunately, we can already see that if we were to make these odd integers (add 1 to each), we would get 153, not 151. Sum of 3 consecutive ODD integers = 151 49 + 51 + 53 = 153 47 + 49 + 51 = 147 We can see that, whenever we slide our three consecutive integers up one, we raise the value of the sum up 3, and if we jump from odd to odd, or even to even, we raise each integer by 2, so we raise the sum by 6.
You can always guess and check! When they are consecutive, it means they must be the next odd integer up from the last. For this, it is 11, 13, 15. 11+13+15= 39
find the two consecutive odd integers with a sum of 152
The sum of two consecutive integers will always be an odd number.
