HELP PLEASE

OpenStudy (raden):

let the first number is x, then x + (x+2) + (x+4) = 33

OpenStudy (experimentx):

(2n-1)+(2n+1)+(2n+3) = 33 2n - 1 =?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (experimentx):

find the value of n ... then find the value of 2n-1 your three consecutive integers is 2n-1, 2n+1, and 2n+3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7

OpenStudy (experimentx):

RadEn methods works too ... but when you are dealing with odd number it's customary to write 2n+1 or 2n-1.

OpenStudy (raden):
