Represent the given condition using a single variable, x.
-Three consecutive odd integers
A)x and x + 2, if x is an odd integer
B)x + 2, x + 4, and x + 6, if x is an odd integer
C)x, x + 2, and x + 4, if x is an odd integer
D)x, x + 1, and x + 2, if x is an odd integer

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Three consecutive odd integers can be represented as x, x+2, and x+4 if x is an odd integer. This is because adding 2 to an odd integer gives another odd integer, and adding 4 to an odd integer also gives an odd integer. Therefore, the three integers will still be consecutive and odd. The given condition is "Three consecutive odd integers". Since we know that odd integers are separated by 2, we can represent the three consecutive odd integers using x, x + 2, and x + 4. Therefore, the correct choice is C.
