the sum of three intergers is 193.The smaller two are consecutive intergers and the larger two are consecutive even intergers.What are the three intergers?
Answered by Reiny
wouldn't the smaller two be one apart, and the larger two would be two apart?
so
smallest --> x
second ---> x+1
third ---> x+3

then x + x+1 + x+3 = 193

solve for x
Answered by anonymous
x+x+1+x+3=193
3x+4=193
-4 -4
3x=189
x=63

thank you!
Answered by bob
3x+4=193 you don't know what x is so you cant go any farther i just got done with this unit
Answered by marisa
uhmm i think you would subtract 4 from both sides so that would just leave you with 3x

3x+4=193
-4 -4

3x= 189

then you would divide 3 from both sides
which leaves you with 63

x=63 =]

oh and make surewhen you do these promblems you go back and check it
