Question 840626: Four times the sum of the first and third of three consecutive odd integers is one less than seven times the middle integer. Fine the integers

Let the consecutive odd number be x,x+2,X+4
Given that 4(first + third number )= 7 (second) -1
4(x +x+4 ) = 7(x+2) -1
8x +16 = 7x +14 -1
x = 13 - 16
x = -3
Then the three numbers are -3, -1,1.
