1. Problem Description
The problem states that the sum of 5 consecutive odd integers is
7
5. We need to find the largest of these 5 integers.
2. Solution Steps
Let be the first odd integer. Since the integers are consecutive odd integers, the other four integers are , , , and . The sum of these five integers is given as
7
5. Therefore, we can write the equation:
Combining like terms, we have:
Subtracting 20 from both sides:
Dividing both sides by 5:
Now we find the five consecutive odd integers:
The five consecutive odd integers are 11, 13, 15, 17, and
1
9. The largest of these is
1
9.
