Find three consecutive odd integers whose sum is 87

Step-by-step explanation: Three consecutive odd integers are represents as follows.

X ⇒ first integer

X + 2 ⇒ second integer

X + 4 ⇒ third integer

Since the sum of these is 87, our equation reads X + X + 2 + X + 4 = 87.

Simplifying on the left, we get 3x + 6 = 87.

Subtracting 6 from both sides, 3x = 81.

Now divide both sides by 3 and x = 27.

Since x, our first odd integer is 27, our next consecutive odd integer will be X + 2 or 27 + 2 which is 29 and X + 4 would be 31.

1)is not similar since corresponding sides are not in the same ratio

2)are similar since corresponding sides are in the same ratio and corresponding angles are equal

hope it will
