Let x be the first consecutive negative odd integer then deter the rest.
- [tex] \rm 1st = \mathcal{x} [/tex]
- [tex] \rm 2nd = \mathcal{x + 2} [/tex]
- [tex] \rm 3rd = \mathcal{x + 4} [/tex]
Find the value of x if their sum is -33.
- [tex] x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = \text-33 [/tex]
- [tex] x + x + 2 + x + 4 = \text-33 [/tex]
- [tex] x + x + x + 2 + 4 = \text-33 [/tex]
- [tex] 3x + 6 = \text-33 [/tex]
- [tex] 3x = \text-33 - 6 [/tex]
- [tex] 3x = \text-39 [/tex]
- [tex] \frac{3x}3 = \frac{\text-39}3 \\ [/tex]
- [tex] x = \text-13 [/tex]
Therefore, the value of x or the first consecutive integer is -13. Find the others.
- [tex] \rm 1st = \mathcal{\text-13} [/tex]
- [tex] \rm 2nd = \mathcal{\text-13 + 2} [/tex]
- [tex] \rm 3rd = \mathcal{\text-13 + 4} [/tex]
- [tex] \rm 1st = \mathcal{\text-13} [/tex]
- [tex] \rm 2nd = \mathcal{\text-11} [/tex]
- [tex] \rm 3rd = \mathcal{\text-9} [/tex]
Find the difference between the larger integer and the smaller integer which are the numbers -9 and -13, respectively.
- [tex] \implies (\text-9) - (\text-13) [/tex]
- [tex] \implies \text-9 + 13 [/tex]
- [tex] \implies 4 [/tex]
Therefore, the difference between the negative integers is 4.
