Which of the following algebraic expressions should be used to model the sentence below?
The sum of three consecutive odd integers, if x + 1 is the first odd integer.
A. x + x + 2 + x + 4
B. x + x + 1 + x + 2
C. x + 1 + x + 3 + x + 5
D. x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3
You are told that the first odd number is going to be x + 1. Odd numbers are every other number, so
that the difference between consecutive odd numbers (like 7 and 9, or 83 and 85) is always 2.
The next odd number will have an increase of 2 from the first odd number.
2
nd
= x + 1 + 2 = x + 3
The third odd number will have another 2 added onto the second odd number.
3
rd
= x + 3 + 2 = x + 5
The sum of the odd numbers can be found by adding all 3 values together.
Sum = x + 1 + x + 3 + x + 5
C.
