Three consecutive odd integers are such that the sum of the first and second is equal to 31 less than 3 times the third. find the integers.

x + x + 2 = 3(x + 4) - 31

Combine like terms

2x + 2 = 3(x + 4) - 31

Distributive property.

2x + 2 = 3x + 12 - 31

Combine like terms.

2x + 2 = 3x - 19

Subtract 2x from both sides.

2 = x - 19

Add 19 to both sides.

21 = x

The value of the first number is 21.

1)is not similar since corresponding sides are not in the same ratio

2)are similar since corresponding sides are in the same ratio and corresponding angles are equal

hope it will
