if n is an integer, which equation can be used to find three consecutive integers whose sum is -18.
skill: consecutive integers
(1) n+(n+1)+ (n+3)=-18
(2) n+(n+1) + (n +2) = -18
(3) n+ (n + 2) + (n +4)=-18
(4) n(n+2)+(n+3)=-18
the sum of three consecutive odd integers is 13 less than 4 times the middle number. find the three integers. only an algebraic solution can receive full credit.
