    Find four consecutive odd numbers which add to 64

    Find four consecutive odd numbers which add to 64. Let the first number be x. The next three numbers are: x + 2 x + 4 x + 6 Add them together to get 64: x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) + (x + 6) = 64 Group like terms: 4x + 12 = 64 Using our equation calculator, we get: x = 13 The next 3 odd numbers...

    Two consecutive even integers that equal 126

    Two consecutive even integers that equal 126 Let the first integer equal x. So the next even integer must be x + 2. The sum which is equal to 126 is written as x + (x + 2) = 126 Simplify: 2x + 2 = 126 Using our equation calculator, we get: x = 62 This means the next consecutive even integer...

    To make an international telephone call, you need the code for the country you are calling. The code for country A, country B, and C are three consecutive integers whose sum is 90. Find the code for each country. If they are three consecutive integers, then we have: B = A + 1 C = B + 1, which...

    The square of a positive integer minus twice its consecutive integer is equal to 22. find the intege

    The square of a positive integer minus twice its consecutive integer is equal to 22. Find the integers. Let x = the original positive integer. We have: Consecutive integer is x + 1 x^2 - 2(x + 1) = 22 Multiply through: x^2 - 2x - 2 = 22 Subtract 22 from each side: x^2 - 2x - 24 = 0 Using...

    Find 3 Even Integers with a sum of 198

    Find 3 Even Integers with a sum of 198 Let x be the first even integer. Then y is the next, and z is the third even integer. y = x + 2 z = x + 4 x + y + z = 198 Substituting y and z into (3): x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 198 Group x terms 3x + 6 = 198 Using our equation solver, we...

    2 consecutive even integers that equal 118

    Let x be the first even integer. That means the next consecutive even integer must be x + 2. Set up our equation: x + (x + 2) = 118 Group x terms 2x + 2 = 118 Subtract 2 from each side 2x = 116 Divide each side by 2 x = 58 Which means the next consecutive even integer is 58 + 2 = 60 So...

    The sum of three consecutive integers is 42

    Let the 3 integers be x, y, and z. y = x + 1 z = y + 1, or x + 2. Set up our equation: x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 42 Group our variables and constants: (x + x + x) + (1 + 2) = 42 3x + 3 = 42 Subtract 3 from each side: 3x = 39 Divide each side of the equation by 3: x = 13 So y = x + 1 = 14 z =...

    A set of 4 consecutive integers adds up to 314. What is the least of the 4 integers?

    A set of 4 consecutive integers adds up to 314. What is the least of the 4 integers? First integer is x. The next 3 are x + 1, x + 2, and x + 3. Set up our equation: x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) + (x + 3) = 314 Group x terms and group constnats (x + x + x + x) + (1 + 2 + 3) = 314 Simplify and...

    find all sets of two consecutive positive odd integers whose sum is no greater than 18

    So x + y <=18 y = x + 1 x + x + 1 <=18 2x + 1 <= 18 Subtract 1 from both sides 2x <= 17 x<=8.5 --> 8 So we have {(0,1),(1,2),(2,3),(3,4),(4,5),(5,6),(6,7),(7,8),(8,9)}
