find four concecutiveodd integers such that the sum of the second and third is 19 greater than the fourth
x x+1 x+2 x+3 (x+1) + (x+2) +19 =( x+3) solve
let X be the first odd integer, can you write the equations? dont let positron confuse you
sorry (x+1) + (x+2) =( x+3) +19
still not right... they are consecutive ODD integers
19,20,21,22
20 and 22 are odd?
concecutiveodd i didnt see the space between
he is doing it right, but use X and X+2 and X+4 and X+6 as the numbers
ok thanks
ok i worked it out and still cant get it
what did you come up with?
2x=19
what was the equation you started with?
you got it close, but you had an extra X in there somewhere... or forgot to subtract one of them
x x+2 x+4 x+6 (x+2) +(x+4) = (x+6) +19 x =19?
x+(x+2) + (x+4)= (x+6 +19
you are adding the first second and third there... it says add the second and third otherwise, you have it
so what is the correct equasion.. sorry im confused
the second + the third = the fourth + 19 (x+2) + (x+4) = (x+6) + 19 you had it, just had an extra X in there
ok thank you so much:)
