Find the largest of three consecutive odd integers if the sum of twice the first, five times the second and ten less than the third is 124
------
!st: 2x-1
2nd: 2x+1
3rd: 2x+3
--------
Equation:
2(2x-1)+5(2x+1)+(2x+3)-10 = 124
-------------------------------------
4x-2 + 10x+5 + 2x-7 = 124
-------
16x - 4 = 124
---
16x = 128
---
x = 8
----
1st: 2x-1 = 15
2nd: 17
3rd: 19
================
