Find 2 consecutive ODD integers whose sum is -88
ANSWER:
-45, -43
They are 88 and 89.
258/3 = 86 so the answer has to be 84+86+88
88,89,90 the answer is 88, 89,90.
x + (x+1) + (x + 2) = 267 3x + 3 = 267 3x = 264 x = 88 Answer: 88, 89, 90
The numbers are 43 and 45.
The numbers are 82, 84, 86 and 88.
-45 and -43.
82, 84, 86, 88
The numbers are -25, -23, -21 and -19.
The sum of two odd numbers is even and the sum of an even number and an odd number is odd.So the sum of three consecutive odd numbers is odd but 270 is even.Ergo there are no three consecutive odd numbers that sum to 270.Three consecutive numbers that sum to 270 are 89, 90, 91.Three consecutive even numbers that sum to 270 are 88, 90, 92.
Two positive integers cannot have a sum which is negative!
Algebraically, X = integer. X + (X + 1) = 89 2X + 1 = 89 2X = 88 X = 44 ------------so X + 1 which is 44 + 1 = 45 ( 44, 45) --------------are your consecutive integers
