Find three cnsecutive odd integers such that twice the first, decreased by the second is 35.
.
Let x = first consecutive odd integer
x + 2 = second consecutive odd integer
x + 4 = third consecutive odd integer
.
2x - (x + 2) = 35
2x - x - 2 = 35
x - 2 = 35
x = 37
.
Therefore, the three consecutive odd integers are:
37, 39 and 41
