The sum of the third and twice the first of three consecutive odd integers is 49. Find all three consecutive odd integers and the equation.
----------
1st: 2x-1
2nd: 2x+1
3rd: 2x+3
---------
EQUATION:
2(2x-1) + 2x+3 =49
4x-2 + 2x+3 = 49
6x+1 = 49
6x = 48
x = 8
------------------
1st: 2x-1 = 15
2nd: 17
3rd: 19
