There are two questions here.
Find three consecutive odd integers the sum of which is negative twenty-one.
I will give you the equation and you can take it from there.
x + x + 2 + x + 4 = -21
============================================================
True or False: 6 is a solution of x^2 + 3 = 9 + 5x.
If 6 is a solution, then replacing every x with 6 in this equation will yield
the same answer on both sides.
(6)^2 + 3 = 9 + 5(6)
36 + 3 = 9 + 30
39 = 39
Yes, 6 is a solution to this equation.
Now, go back and do question 1. I provided the equation.

Find three consecutive odd integers the sum of which is negative twenty-one.
---------------
1st: 2x-1
2nd: 2x+1
3rd: 2x+3
-----
Equation:
sum = -21
6x+3 = -21
6x = -24
x = -4
----
1st: 2x-1 = -9
2nd: 2x+1 = -7
3rd: 2x+3 = -5
=========================
true or false: 6 is a solution of x^2 + 3 = 9 + 5x.
---
36 + 3 = 9 + 5*6
39 = 39
===============
Ans: true
