Finding Consecutive Numbers with a Given Sum
In this lesson, you will learn how to find three consecutive odd numbers that add up to a given sum. The instructor explains what consecutive means and what integers are, and then shows how to set up an equation to solve for the unknown numbers. By using variables and combining like terms, the instructor demonstrates how to find the three consecutive odd numbers that add up to 21, which are 5, 7, and 9.

I show how to solve math problems online during live instruction in class. This is my way of providing free tutoring for the students in my class and for students anywhere in the world. Every video is a short clip that shows exactly how to solve math problems step by step. The problems are done in real time and in front of a regular classroom. These videos are intended to help you learn how to solve math problems, review how to solve a math problems, study for a test, or finish your homework. I post all of my videos on YouTube, but if you are looking for other ways to interact with me and my videos you can follow me on the following pages through My Blog, Twitter, or Facebook.
