I'm not from us, odd is divisible by two or not divisible by 2?

Let x be the first odd number then the other two consecutive odd integers will be (x+2) and (x+4)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now, x+2(x+2) + 3(x+4)=58

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nope...... its x+2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x+2(x+2) + 3(x+4)=58 x+2x+4+3x+12=58 6x+16=58 6x=42 x=7
