    two pages that face each other in a book have a sum of 569

    two pages that face each other in a book have a sum of 569 Pages that face each other are consecutive. Let the first page be p. The second page is p + 1. Their sum is: p + p + 1 = 569 Type this equation into our search engine to solve for p, and we get: p = 284 This means p + 1 = 284 + 1 =...

    The ages of three siblings are all consecutive integers. The sum of of their ages is 39.

    The ages of three siblings are all consecutive integers. The sum of of their ages is 39. Let the age of the youngest sibling be n. This means the second sibling is n + 1. This means the oldest/third sibling is n + 2. So what we want is the sum of 3 consecutive integers equal to 39. We type...

    2 consecutive odd integers such that their product is 15 more than 3 times their sum

    2 consecutive odd integers such that their product is 15 more than 3 times their sum. Let the first integer be n. The next odd, consecutive integer is n + 2. We are given the product is 15 more than 3 times their sum: n(n + 2) = 3(n + n + 2) + 15 Simplify each side: n^2 + 2n = 6n + 6 + 15 n^2...
