Help please. I'm stuck

The numbers are 65, 67, and 69

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We need to find 3 consecutive odd integers.

Consecutive numbers are numbers that follow each other (ex. 1, 2, 3, 4)

We're given that 5 times the first number + 4 times the second + 3 times the third = 800

Let's make the first number x

Since the second number is consecutive to the first and odd, it will be x+2 (Why? Well, let's say x is 5. In that case, x+1=6, which is even. However, x+2=7)

Therefore, the third number is x+4 (once again, if x is 5, x+3=8, but x+4=9)

5 times the first number is 5x

4 times the second is 4(x+2)

3 times the third is 3(x+4)

And of course, that equals 800

As an equation, it'll be:

5x+4(x+2)+3(x+4)=800

open the parenthesis

5x+4x+8+3x+12=800

combine like terms

12x+20=800

Subtract 20 from both sides

12x=780

Divide by 12 on both sides

x=65

The first number is x, so the first number is 65

The second number is x+2, or 65+2=67

The third number is x+4, or 65+4=69

Hope this helps!
