x + (x − 2) + (x − 4) = ? ;  In which

x + x − 2 + x − 4 ; 

Combine the "like terms" ; 

  x + x + x = 3x ; 

  − 2 − 4  =  −6 ; 

So we have:  "3x  − 6" as the sum. ;
___________________________
The sum of three consecutive odd integers, in which "x" is the greatest integer;  is:  "3x − 6" .
_____________________________________________
Note:  The three consecutive odd integers, from least to greatest, are:

"(x − 4)" , "(x − 2)" , and "x" .

The sum is:  "(3x  − 6)" .
_____________________________________________
Note:  "(3x  − 6)" factors into:  " 3(x −2)" .

Note that:  " (x − 2) " is the second integer.

So the sum total, which is:  "(3x  −  6)" ;  is 3 (three) times the value of the second integer; that is, "3 (x − 2)" .

The sum of three consecutive odd integers is (x − 4), (x − 2) , and x .

What is integers ?

The word integer originated from the Latin word “Integer” which means whole or intact. Integers is a special set of numbers comprising zero, positive numbers and negative numbers.

According to the question

x + (x − 2) + (x − 4) = ?  

In which

x + x − 2 + x − 4

Combine the like terms

x + x + x = 3x

− 2 − 4  =  −6

So we have:  3x  − 6 as the sum.

The sum of three consecutive odd integers, in which x is the greatest integer;  is:  3x − 6.

Note:  The three consecutive odd integers, from least to greatest, are:

(x − 4), (x − 2) , and x .

The sum is:  (3x  − 6) .

Note:  (3x  − 6) factors into:  3(x −2) .

Note that:  (x − 2) is the second integer.

So the sum total, which is:  (3x  −  6)  is 3 (three) times the value of the second integer;

that is, 3 (x − 2) .
