Question

Find three consecutive odd integers such that the sum of the largest and twice the smallest is 25.

If x represents the smallest integer, then which equation could be used to solve the problem?


2x + x + 2 = 25
2x + x + 4 = 25
2x + 2x + 4 = 25
2x + 2x + 2 = 25

Answer 1

numbers will be x,x+2,x+4

Answer 2

2x + x + 2 = 25
2x + x + 4 = 25
2x + 2x + 4 = 25
2x + 2x + 2 = 25

Answer 3

now according to the question
(x+4)+2x=25

Answer 4

2x + x + 2 = 25
2x + x + 4 = 25
2x + 2x + 4 = 25
2x + 2x + 2 = 25
One of the above...

Answer 5

option 2
