Let the integers be n, n+2, n+4, since they are consecutive ODD integers
We have
Solve for n: ->
Thus, the integers are: 45,47,49
Check: 45+47+49=141

Solution: Three consecutive ood integers are: x, x+2, x+4. Since their sum is 141 we write the equation: x+x+2+x+4=141, 3x+6=141, 3x=135, x=45. The first ood number is 45, the second 45+2=47 and the third 47+2=49.
Proof: 45+47+49=141.
