Find Three consecutive odd integers such their sum decreased by the second equals 50
Let the first integer be F
Then other 2 are: F + 2, and F + 4
We then get: F + F + 2 + F + 4 - (F + 2) = 50
Solve for F, the 1st integer, then F + 2, and F + 4, for the 2nd and 3rd, respectively
Hint: You should get F, or 1st integer as 23.
