--------------------------------- sum of 3 consec numberrs is 60 find the smallest no. find x x + (x+1) + (x+2) 3x + 3 = 60 3x = 60 - 3 3x = 57 --- --- 3 3 x= 19 20 21 ------------------------------------- Find the sum of the Odd consectuive numbers from 4 to 20 (( EVEN - EVEN METHOD )) 20 - 4 = 16 16 / 2 = 8 (There are 8 ODD CONSECUTIVE numbers in between ) 5 and 19 -- (odd numbers) 5 + 19 = 24 24 / 2 = 12 12 x 8( the number of consective numbers) = 96 ------------------------- Find the sum of the ODD consecutive numbers from 60 up to 110 110 - 60 50 / 2 = 25 ( consecutive number range) (smallest ODD numbers in the consecutive list ) 61 + 109 = 170 170 / 2 = 85 85 x 25 = 2125 The sum of the odd consecutive numbers ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Find the sum of the Odd consectuive numbers from 45 to 95 (( ODD - ODD METHOD )) 95 - 45 = 50 50 / 2 = 25 + 1 (Because the given is ODD now) = 26 next 95 + 45 = 140 140 / 2 = 70 next would be 70 x 26 = 1,820 FINAL ANSWER
