Find three consecutive odd integers such as product of the two lager number is 18 more than three times the sum all three number, 


Let smaller integer be S

Then middle and largest are: S + 2, and S + 4, respectively

Product of 2 larger integers: (S + 2)(S + 4)



You should be able to form an equation from this and solve to determine the integers.
