Find three consecutive odd integers such that the sum of the first, two times the second and three times the third is 82. choose the mathematical translation for the given situation. a. 6 x plus 16 equals 82 6x+16=82 b. 6 x plus 8 equals 82 6x+8=82 c. 3 x plus 3 equals 82 3x+3=82 d. 3 x plus 6 equals 82 3x+6=82

Answer is a.  6 x plus 16 equals 82  6x+16=82======if you let  be  the first odd integer, then the three  consecutive odd integers are    because adding two to an odd integer still gets an odd number.for example, 1 + 2 = 371 + 2 = 7353 + 2 = 55all odd, so adding 2 gets the next consecutive odd integer."the first" means  "two times the second" means  you can distribute and it becomes  "three times the third" means  you can distribute and it becomes  if you sum all these expressions up, they should equal 82.   

If i'm correct the answer is $15.97
