The sum of three consecutive odd integers is 93. What is the largest of the integers?
The sum of three consecutive odd integers is 93. What is the largest of the integers?
Consecutive odd integers differ by 2. If the smallest integer is x, then
x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 93
3x + 6 = 93
3x = 87
x = 29
The three numbers are 29, 31, and 33, the largest of which is 33.

Which of the following could represent the sum of 3 consecutive odd integers, given that d is one of the three?
Which of the following could represent the sum of 3 consecutive odd integers, given that d is one of the three?
If the largest of the three consecutive odd integers is d, then the three numbers are (in descending order):
d, d – 2, d – 4
This is true because consecutive odd integers always differ by two. Adding the three expressions together, we see that the sum is 3_d_ – 6.

, where 
and 
are distinct positive integers. Which of the following could be values of 
and 
?
Since 
and 
must be positive, eliminate choices with negative numbers or zero. Since they must be distinct (different), eliminate choices where 
. This leaves 4 and 5 (which is the only choice that does not add to 20), and the correct answer, 5 and 15.
