Question 122019: Find three consecutive odd integers such that the sum of the largest and twice the smallest is 25.

let x, x+2 & x+4 be the 3 integers.
(x+4)+2x=25
x+4+2x=25
3x=25-4
3x=21
x=21/3
x=7 answer for the smallest odd integer.
7+2=9 for the next odd integer.
7+4=11 for the largest integer.
proof
11+2*7=25
11+14=25
25=25
