How do you setup a consecutive integer problem?

Answer 1

• the first number is x, the second x+1, third, x+2 and so on.

so if the sum of three consecutive integers is 24, the setup would be this:

x+x+1+x+2=24

• if it's consecutive even or odd integers the setup would be x, x+2, x+4,etc.

so if the sum of three consecutive odd integers is 21, the setup would be:

x+x+2+x+4=21

for three or more even consecutive numbers, same setup
