Question

What does it mean by, "The sum of three consecutive odd integers is 93."

Answer 1

Consecutive odd integers are like

5, 7, 9

21, 23, 25

Answer 2

How can I put that in an equation? would it be n+n+2+n+3=93?

Answer 3

93/3 = n +(n+2) - (n-2)

Answer 4

So would the answer be 31?

Answer 5

That's one of the numbers. What are the other two?

Answer 6

I also got 1 and 0 but I do not know.

Answer 7

31 + 2 = ?

31 - 2 = ?

Do those three numbers add up to 93?

Answer 8

Yes but I do not know how to solve your way of the equation.

Answer 9

You correctly solved the equation for n.

To understand the meaning of "The sum of three consecutive odd integers is 93," we need to break it down.

Consecutive odd integers are numbers that follow each other and are odd (not divisible evenly by 2). For example, 3, 5, and 7 are consecutive odd integers.

In this problem, we have three consecutive odd integers, which we can represent by n, n+2, and n+4. The first odd integer is n, the second is the next odd integer after n, which is n+2, and the third is the next odd integer after n+2, which is n+4.

The sum of these three consecutive odd integers can be calculated by adding them together:

n + (n+2) + (n+4) = 93

To solve this equation, we need to find the value of n that satisfies the equation.

We can simplify the equation by combining like terms:

3n + 6 = 93

Next, we can solve for n by isolating it on one side of the equation. To do this, we subtract 6 from both sides of the equation:

3n = 87

Finally, we divide both sides of the equation by 3 to solve for n:

n = 29

So, the three consecutive odd integers are 29, 31, and 33, and their sum is indeed 93.
