Find three consecutive odd integers such that the sum of the smallest and largest is eleven less than three times the middle integer.
------------------
1st: 2x-1
2nd: 2x+1
3rd: 2x+3
----------------
Equation:
2x-1+2x+3 = 3(2x+1) - 11
-----
4x + 2 = 6x-8
2x = 10
x = 5
-----
1st: 2x-1 = 9
2nd:: 11
3rd:: 13
-----------
