algebra problem please help?

the sum of four consecutive odd intergers is 64. what are the integers thanks

  • your 4 odd integers are:

    2n+1, 2n+3, 2n+5, 2n+7

    they are such that

    (2n+1)+(2n+3)+(2n+5)+(2n+7)=64

    8n+16=64

    8n=64-16=48

    n=48/8=6

    then your numbers are

    2*6+1, 2*6+3, 2*6+5, 2*6+7

    13, 15, 17 and 19

  • x+x+2+x+4+x+6=64

    so

    4x+12=64

    subtract 12 from both sides

    4x=52

    divide both sides by 4

    x=13

    so the four consecutive odd integers are:

    13, 15, 17, 19

  • 1st integer—x:

    x + x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6 = 64

    4x = 52

    x = 13

    2nd integer:

    = 13 + 2

    = 15

    3rd integer:

    = 13 + 4

    = 17

    4th integer:

    = 13 + 6

    = 19

    Answer: 13, 15, 17 & 19 are the integers. Their sum is 64.

  • Let the odd numbers be

    2k-3, 2k-1, 2k+1 and 2k+3

    So sum= 8k= 64

    k=8

    Numbers are

    13,15,17 and 19

  • the equation is set up like this:

    x+(x+2)+(x+4)+(x+6) =64

    4x+12=64

    4x=52

    x=13

    integers are 13,15,17,19
