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

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

anonymous · Answer

but i do not know what to do thats the problem?

zzr0ck3r · Answer

1+2+3 = 1+(1+1)+(1+2) so if n = 1
1+2+3 = n+(n+1)+(n+2)
