Find three consecutive odd integers such that three times the first minus the second is one more than the third
Let the 1st integer be F

Then 2nd and 3rd are: F + 2, and F + 4, respectively

We then get: 3F - (F + 2) = F + 4 + 1

Solve for F, the 1st integer (Make sure that this is AN ODD INTEGER)

Add 2 to the 1st integer to get the 2nd

Add 4 to the 1st to get the 3rd
