1. Find two consecutive integers whose sum is 45.

Let:
x be the first integer.
x+1 be the second integer.

Equation:
x + (x + 1) = 45

Checking:
Solution:
For the first integer: For the second integer: x + (x + 1) = 45
x + (x + 1) = 45 x +1 22 + (22 + 1) = 45
2x + 1 = 45 (22) + 1 22 + 23 = 45
2x + 1 – 1 = 45 – 1
45 = 45
2x + 0 = 45 - 1 22
2x = 44 + 1
2x 44 23
2 = 2 They are correct because the 2
consecutive integers in our
x = 44 answer resulted to 45.

x = 22
Final Answer:
The two consecutive integers are 22 and 23.

2. Find three consecutive even integers whose sum is 72.

Let:
k be the first even integer
k+2 be the second even integer
k+4 be the third even integer
Equation:
k + (k + 2) + (k + 4) = 72 Checking:
k + (k + 2) + (k + 4) = 72
22 + (22 + 2) + (22 + 4) = 72
Solution: 22 + 24 + 26 = 72
For the first even integer: For the second even integer: For the third even integer:
k + (k + 2) + (k + 4) = 72 46 + 26 = 72
k+2 k+4
3k + 2 + 4 = 72 (22) + 2 (22) + 4 72 = 72
3k + 6 = 72
3k + 6 + (-6) = 72 + (-6) 22
They are right since the result of
22
3k = 66 + 2 + 4 three consecutive even integers
3k 66 24 26 in our solution was 72.

3.Find two consecutive integers whose sum is 123.

Let:
s be the first integer
s+1 be the second integer

Equation: Checking:
s + ( s + 1) = 123 s + (s + 1) = 123
61 +(61 + 1) = 123
Solution: For the second integer: 61 + 62 = 123
For the first integer: s+1
s + (s + 1) = 123 123 = 123
(61) + 1
2s + 1 = 123
2s + 1 – 1 = 123 – 1
61 They are correct since the two
2s = 122
+ 1
2s 122
62 consecutive integers in our
2 = 2 solution added up to 123.
122
s =
2
s = 61

Final Answer:
61 and 62 are the two consecutive integers.

4. Find three consecutive even integers whose sum is 84.

Let:
m be the first even integer
m+2 be the second even integer
m+4 be the third even integer
Equation:
m + (m + 2) + (m + 4) = 84 Checking:
m + (m + 2) + (m + 4) = 84
26 + (26 + 2) + (26 + 4) = 84
Solution: 26 + 28 + 30 = 84
For the first even integer: For the second even integer: For the third even integer:
m + (m + 2) + (m + 4) = 84 54 + 30 = 84
m+2 m+4
3m + 2 + 4 = 84 (26) + 2 (26) + 4 84 = 84
3m + 6 = 84
3m + 6 + (-6) = 84 + (-6) 26 26
They are right since our solution
3m = 78 + 2 + 4 included three consecutive even
3m 78 28 30 integers that added up to 84.

m = 26

Final Answer:
The three consecutive even integers are 26, 28, and 30.

5. Find three consecutive odd integers whose sum is 75.

Let:
c be the first odd integer
c+2 be the second odd integer
c+4 be the third odd integer
Equation:
c + (c + 2) + (c + 4) = 75

Solution:
For the first odd integer: Checking:
For the second odd integer: For the third odd integer: c + (c + 2) + (c + 4) = 75
c + (c + 2) + (c + 4) = 75
c+2 c+4 23 + (23 + 2) + (23 + 4) = 75
3c + 2 + 4 = 75
(23) + 2 (23) + 4 23 + 25 + 27 = 75
3c + 6 = 75
3c + 6 + (-6) = 75 + (-6) 48 + 27 = 75
23 23 75 = 75
3c = 69
+ 2 + 4
3c 69
= 25 27
3 3
69 They are correct because the 3
c= consecutive odd integers in our answer
3 resulted to 75.

c = 23
Final Answer:
23, 25, and 27 are the three consecutive odd integers.

4. Three consecutive even integers are such that the sum of the smallest and 3 times the second is
38 more than twice the third. Find the integers
Let:
r be the first even integer
r+2 be the second even integer
r+4 be the third even integer
Equation:
r + 3(r + 2) = 2(r + 4) + 38

Solution:
For the first even integer:
r + 3(r + 2) = 2(r + 4) + 38
r + 3r + 6 = 2r + 8 + 38 For the second even integer: For the third even integer: Checking:
4r + 6 = 2r + 46
r+2 m+4 r + 3(r + 2) = 2(r + 4) + 38
(20) + 2 (20) + 4 20 + 3 (20 + 2) = 2 (20 + 4) + 38
4r + 6 + (-6) = 2r + 46 + (-6)
4r = 2r + 40
20 20 20 + 3(22) = 2(24) + 38
4r – 2r = 2r + 40 – 2r + 4 20 + 66 = 48 + 38
+ 2
2r = 40
2r 40
22 24 86 = 86
=
2 2
40
r= 2
They are correct because the
conditions in the problem were
r = 20
followed and in the checking the
resulting answers were balanced.
Final Answer:
The three consecutive even integers are 20, 22, and 24.

5. Find three consecutive odd integers whose sum is -45.
Let:
y be the first odd integer
y+2 be the second odd integer
y+4 be the third odd integer
Equation:
y + (y + 2) + (y + 4) = -45

Solution: Checking:
For the first odd integer: y + (y + 2) + (y + 4) = - 45
For the second odd integer: For the third odd integer:
y + (y + 2) + (y + 4) = - 45 -17 + (-17 + 2) + (-17 + 4) = - 45
c+2 c+4
3y + 2 + 4 = - 45 - 17 + -15 + -13 = - 45
(-17) + 2 (23) + 4
3y + 6 = - 45 - 32 + -13 = - 45
3y + 6 + (-6) = - 45 + (-6) - 45 = - 45
-17 -17
3y = - 51
+ 2 + 4
3y - 51 They are correct because the 3
-15 -13
3 = 3 consecutive odd integers in our answer
resulted to -45.
- 51
y=
