find three consecutive odd integers such that the sum of the smallest and 4 times the largest 61
Let the smallest integer be x. Then the next two odd integers are x+2 and x+4.
The equation for the desired sum then is:
x + 4*(x+4) = 61
Solve for x and then plug that value in x, x+2 and x+4 to get the three integers.

let n= lowest integer
n+2=middle integer
n+4=highest integer
n+4(n+4)=61
n+4n+16=61
4n=45
n=9 lowest
n+2=11 middle
n+4=13 highest
check
9+4*13=61
9+52=61
