consecutive odd integers: (x-2), x, (x+2)

5(x+2) = 3(x-2) + 7 + x
5x + 10 = 4x + 3
x = -7

The integers are -9, -7, and -5.

Let consecutive odd integers be (x-2), x, (x+2)





5(x+2) = 3(x-2) + 7 + x

5x + 10 = 4x + 1

x = -9





The integers are -11, -9, and -7, in ascending order.                ANSWER
