The sum of three consecutive odd integers is 189. What are the integers?

Let the three consecutive odd integers be:
n + 1, n + 3 and n + 5
Therefore:
n + 1 + n + 3 + n + 5 = 189
3n + 9 = 189
3n = 180
n = 60
n + 1 = 61
n + 3 = 63 and
n + 5 = 65

Answer:
The three consecutive odd integers are:
61, 63 and 65
