Erin's three test scores were consecutive odd integers. If her next test score is 18 points more than the highest score of the three tests, her total number of points will be 328. Find Erin's test score.
------------
Let the odd scores be 2x+1, 2x+3, 2x+5
Her next test score must be 2x+5+18=2x+23
EQUATION:
2x+1+2x+3+2x+5+2x+23=328
8x+32=328
8x=296
x=37
Erin's next test score is 2x+23= 2(37)+23=74+23=97
