Find three consecutive odd integers such that the sum of three times the first and twice the second is 26 more than three times the third ?
------------
1st: 2x-1
2nd: 2x+1
3rd: 2x+3
-------------
3(2x-1)+2(2x+1) = 3(2x+3)+26
6x-3 + 4x+2 = 6x+9+26
10x -1 = 6x + 35
4x = 36
x = 9
1st: 2x-1 = 17
2nd: 19
3rd: 21
===================
Cheers,
Stan H.
