Find three consecutive odd positive integers such that 2 times the sum of all three is 7 more than the product of the first and second integers.
The smallest odd integer is ___
The next consecutive odd integer is ____
The third consecutive odd integer is ____
Let the smallest integer be S

Then other two are: S + 2, and S + 4

We then get: 2(S + S + 2 + S + 4) = S(S + 2) + 7



Solve this equation for S: the smallest integer. Add 2 to S and 4 to S to get the other 2 integers. You should get 2 values for S, the smallest integer
