Question

Please help me!!! Medal+Fanning for those who do!

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

Is it D?

Answer 2

if we suppose that the smallest integer is n, what would the next integer be ?

Answer 3

I'm sorry but I'm not sure about the nest integer. :(

Answer 4

Let's say that n is the number (assuming that it is 1). Consecutive to 1 are 2 and 3. If we do 1+1 we get 2 and if we do 1+2=3. Remember that n is 1. What would make sense the most?

Answer 5

to get the next number, add 1 to n

Answer 6

Oh, okay. :) Thanks @hoblos and @calculusxy

Answer 7

You're welcome

Answer 8

Would it B?

Answer 9

No C. See how it relates.

Answer 10

Oh, yeah, sorry, didn't read that one. :(
So it's like n + (1 + 1) + (1 + 2) = 36

Answer 11

Thanks soo much! :)
