Find three consecutive odd integers whose sum is 87

Step-by-step explanation: Three consecutive odd integers are represents as follows.

X ⇒ first integer

X + 2 ⇒ second integer

X + 4 ⇒ third integer

Since the sum of these is 87, our equation reads X + X + 2 + X + 4 = 87.

Simplifying on the left, we get 3x + 6 = 87.

Subtracting 6 from both sides, 3x = 81.

Now divide both sides by 3 and x = 27.

Since x, our first odd integer is 27, our next consecutive odd integer will be X + 2 or 27 + 2 which is 29 and X + 4 would be 31.

step-by-step explanation:

you have to round up to 4 because 6 is over 5 so you have to round the 3 up to 4
