Generalising Croatians are good at tennis (generaising) In Algebra, a generalisation is whan we can show something is true for all examples.

2+3+4/3=3 3+4+5/3=4 4+5+6/3=5

The pattern is the answer in the middle number. We can use algebra to show this is always true. If the 3 numbers are consecutive, the answer is the middle number.

Mike: Any 3 consecutive numbers added together and divided by three equals the middle consecutive number.

5+6+7/3=6 x+(x+1)+(x+2)/3=x+11 3x+3/3
