"find the three consecutive odd integers
such that three times the smallest
plus four times the largest will result
in the middle integer plus 104."

x = 1st consecutive odd integer
x + 2 = 2nd consecutive odd integer
x + 4 = 3rd consecutive odd integer

3x + 4(x + 4) = x + 2 + 104 {three times smallest plus four times largest equals middle plus 104}
3x + 4x + 16 = x + 2 + 104 {used distributive property}
7x + 16 = x + 106 {combined like terms}
7x = x + 90 {subtracted 16 from both sides{
6x = 90 {subtracted x from both sides}
x = 15 {divided both sides by 6}
x + 2 = 17 {substituted 15, in for x, into x + 2}
x + 4 = 19 {substituted 15, in for x, into x + 4}

15, 17, and 19 are the three consecutive odd integers
