Choose the equation that could be used to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 36.

n + (n + 2) + (n + 4) = 36

n + (n + 1) + (n + 3) = 36

n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) = 36

n + (n − 1) + (n − 3) = 36

My answer is n + (n + 2) + (n + 4) = 36
Am I right?

Question

Choose the equation that could be used to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 36.


n + (n + 2) + (n + 4) = 36

 n + (n + 1) + (n + 3) = 36

 n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) = 36

 n + (n − 1) + (n − 3) = 36

My answer is n + (n + 2) + (n + 4) = 36
Am I right?

consecutive means like 1,2,3,4, etc. 
So um no.

anonymous · Answer

no  
because they are consecutive it will be  n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) = 36
