Question

Write down three consecutive odd integers of the largest one is 2x+1​

Answer 1

Answer

Let,the three consecutive odd integers be x,x+1 ,x+2

Answer 2

The three consecutive odd integers are 2x-3, 2x-1 and 2x+1.

Let us consider a random case.

9, 11 and 13 are three consecutive odd numbers, where 13 is the largest of the three.

We conclude that the middle element is obtained by subtracting 2 from the largest number andthe first element is obtained by subtracting 4 from the largest odd number.

In the question, the largest odd number is 2x+1.

So, the middle element is = (2x+1)-2 = 2x-1

First element = (2x+1)-4 = 2x-3
