Question 1015553: Find 3 consecutive odd integers such that the second integer is 5 times the first integer, the third integer is 100 more than the first integer, and the sum of all 3 integers is 415.
The equation I have is
x+5x+100+x=415 and my answers are 45,225,145
I'm pretty sure that is incorrect because they aren't consecutive. what is the correct equation and answers?

First integer is F.
Second integer must be F+2 (consecutive odd integers) and also 5F.
So
5F=F+2
4F=2
F=1/2
1/2 is not an integer.
.
The third integer must be F+4 (to be consecutive odd) integer and also F+100.
F+4=F+100
Obviously, this can not happen.

1st:: 2x-1
2nd:: 2x+1
3rd:: 2x+3
----------
Note:: The conditions for your equations are contradictory.
They do not result in a consistent value for "x" and therefore
for the 3 consecutive odd integers.
