Let the first odd iteger be x. Then the second odd integer is x + 2, the third is x + 4, and the fourth is x + 6. That's because you always add 2 to get to the next consecutive odd integer.

Three times the second number is then

which is equal to two times the fourth number plus 15 or

So:

Solve this for x to get the first of the consecutive odd integers, and then add two, add two, and add two to get the other three.
