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

Answer 1

Hint: If your first integer is "n", what is the next integer? Isn't that "one more than n"?

Answer 2

And the integer after the one after "n" is "one more than one more than n". With those 2 hints, you should be able to find the representations of the 3 consecutive integers.

Answer 3

i dont get it

Answer 4

Why not?

Answer 5

i just start doin math this year algebra

Answer 6

Forget about when you started, concentrate on the hints that are given.

Answer 7

example of 3 consecutive numbers
1,2,3
if we add them up 1+2+3

Answer 8

think about the relation between 2 and 1 which is the same relation between 3 and 2
what is that relation?

Answer 9

what tha mean to consecutive integers

Answer 10

Consecutive means the very next one.

Answer 11

integers are -3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3.....
consecutive means the next one
1,2,3 are 3 consecutive numbers
4,5,6 are 3 consecutive numbers
100212,100213,100214 are 3 consecutive numbers

Answer 12

For example, the 3 consecutive integers starting with 4 are:

4, 5, 6

That's 4, 4 + 1, 4 + 2

Answer 13

^^^^^understand that and you will get it

Answer 14

So, if you are dealing with "n" instead of "4", just substitute "n" for "4".

Answer 15

4,5,6 = 4,4+1,4+2
6,7,8 = 6,6+1,6+2
200,201,202 = 200,200+1, 200+2
