The sum of three consecutive odd integers is 81. If n represents the smallest of the three integers, then which equation relates the quantities described
in the problem?

n + (n + 1) + (n + 3) = 81

nt (n + 2) + (n + 4) = 81

n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) = 81

n + 3n+ 5n = 81

(n + 1) + (n + 3) + (n + 5) = 81

answer: its the third option.

step-by-step explanation:

i just took the test.

x=-2

step-by-step explanation:

i began by flipping the problem to give me x= on the left (keeps it clearer for me).   so my problem simply became 10x-3=4x-6.  

1)   subtract 4x from the right side, which equals 0.   you do the same to the left of the equal as the right; therefore, subtract 4x from 10x, leaving 6x on the left.

              10x-3=4x-6   :   4x-4x on the right leaves only the -6        

2)             6x-3= 0-6 :    

                6x+3=   -6

3) divide
