Question

Show all steps used to solve the problem. One point for steps and one point for solution. Be sure that you check your solution for correctness.
The measures of three sides of a triangle are consecutive odd integers. The perimeter of the triangle is 57. What are the measures of the three sides? One point for the equation and one point for the solution.

Answer 1

What we know so far:
Perimeter is 57
Sides of triangle are consecutive odd integers

Answer 2

x+(x+1)+(x+2)=57
3x=54
x=18
18, 19, 20 is your answer

Answer 3

"The measures of three sides of a triangle are Consecutive ODD Integers."

Answer 4

19,21,23?

Answer 5

Oops, missed that detail, thanks @NeoKazuya

Answer 6

x+(x+2)+(x+4)=57
3x=51
x=17
Answer: 17, 19, 21

Answer 7

i would -5 points for the equation and 10 for the solution

Answer 8

three consecutive odd numbers that add to 57
i guess 21,23,25 but that is too large because they total 69
bet i get it on the second try
it is annoying that you have to solve an equation when a simple experiment will do
