Let x = the first integer.
That means that the second integer must be x+2, and the 3rd integer is x+4. This is because these are consecutive odd integers, such as 5,7,9... which adds 2 each time.

Set up an equation:
x + (x+2) + (x+4) = 75
3x + 6 = 75
3x = 69
x = 23

second integer: 25
third integer: 27

The three integers are 23,25,27.
