There are two consecutive even integers: 90 and 92.
It need not be. 2 and 3 are consecutive integers and their sum is 5, not 31.
There are no three odd consecutive integers because consecutive integers all have 1 between them, meaning at least one of them will be an even integer. ------------------- Let x, x+2, and x+4 be the three consecutive odd integers. We want x+(x+2)+(x+4) to equal 531. x+(x+2)+(x+4) = 531 3x+6=531 3x=531-6=525 x=525/3=175 Therefore, the three consecutive odd integers are 175, 177, and 179. A quick check shows that those three integers add up to 531.
Let the two consecutive integers be x and x+1. The product of these two integers is x(x+1). Setting this equal to 132 gives us the equation x(x+1) = 132. By expanding the left side of the equation, we get x^2 + x = 132. Rearranging terms, we have x^2 + x - 132 = 0. This is a quadratic equation that can be factored as (x+12)(x-11) = 0. Therefore, the two consecutive integers are 11 and 12, and their product is 132.
