find three consecutive odd integers such that twice the sum of the first and third more than the second by fifteen
----------------
1st: 2x-1
2nd: 2x+1
3rd: 2x+3
------------------
Equation:
2x+1 = 2(4x+2) + 15
----
2x+1 = 8x+4 + 15
2x + 1 = 8x + 19
6x = -18
x = -3
----
1st: 2x-1 = -6-1 = -7
2nd: 2x+1 = 2(-3)+1 = -5
3rd: 2x+3 = -3
-----------------
