Let x be the FIRST odd integer then x + 2 be the next odd consecutive integer and x + 4 is the next odd consecutive integer.
The sum of the first and the third odd integer is 70:
x + (x + 4) = 70
x + x + 4 = 70
2x + 4 = 70
2x = 70 -4
2x = 66
x = 66/2
x = 33
Thus the 1st odd number is 33. The second is 33 + 2 = 35. The third one is 33+ 4 = 37
Three odd numbers are 33, 35, 37.
