How do I solve this? ::: Find three consecutive odd integers such that the sum of two times the first and four times the third is four more than six times the second.
----
1st: 2x-1
2nd: 2x+1
3rd: 2x+3
-----------
Equation:
2(2x-1)+4(2x+3) = 6(2x+1)+4
--------------------------------
4x-2+8x+12 = 12x+10
12x + 10 = 12x + 10
----
This is an identity.
x can be any Real Number
