Question

The sum of three consecutive odd integers is 63. find the largest

Answer 1

Consecutive odd integers are odd integers which follow one another and the difference between two odd numbers is 2.

Let the first odd integer be x.

The second = x + 2

The third = x + 2 + 2 = x + 4

The sum of the three numbers is :

x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 3x + 6

We equate this to 63.

3x + 6 = 63

3x = 63 - 6

3x = 57

x = 57/3

x = 19

The largest is the third number and is given by :

19 + 4 = 23

Answer : 23

Answer 2

Hi,

Here is your answer,

The first odd integer be y

The second odd integer be = y + 2

The third odd integer be = y + 2 + 2 = y + 4

The sum of the three numbers is :

→ y + y + 2 + y + 4 = 3 y + 6

Given three consecutive odd integer is 63.

→ 3 y + 6 = 63

→ y = 63 - 6

→ 3 y = 57

→ y = 57/3

→ y = 19

The largest odd integer value is

→ 19 + 4 = 23

Required solution is 23

Hope it helps you !

Answer 3

Hi,

Here is your answer,

The first odd integer be y

The second odd integer be = y + 2

The third odd integer be = y + 2 + 2 = y + 4

The sum of the three numbers is :

→ y + y + 2 + y + 4 = 3 y + 6

Given three consecutive odd integer is 63.

→ 3 y + 6 = 63

→ y = 63 - 6

→ 3 y = 57

→ y = 57/3

→ y = 19

The largest odd integer value is

→ 19 + 4 = 23

Required solution is 23

Answer 4

Hi,

Here is your answer,

The first odd integer be y

The second odd integer be = y + 2

The third odd integer be = y + 2 + 2 = y + 4

The sum of the three numbers is :

Given three consecutive odd integer is 63.

→ 3 y + 6 = 63

→ y = 63 - 6

→ 3 y = 57

→ y = 57/3

→ y = 19
