Find three consecutive odd intergers such that twice the sum of the first and third more than the second by fifteen


Let first integer be F

The 2nd and 3rd are: F + 2, and F + 4, respectively

Then: 2(F + F + 4) = F + 2 + 15

2(2F + 4) = F + 17

4F + 8 = F + 17

4F - F = 17 - 8

3F = 9

F, or 1st = , or 

2nd integer: 3 + 2, or 

3rd integer: 3 + 4, or
