Find three consecutive odd integers such that the
sum of the first and second is 31 less than 3 times the third.
-------------
1st:: 2x-1
2nd:: 2x+1
3rd:: 2x+3
------------------
Equation:
4x = 3(2x+3) - 31
4x = 6x + 9 - 31
----
2x - 22 = 0
x = 11
------------------------
1st:: 2x-1 = 21
2nd:: 2x+1 = 23
3rd:: 2x+3 = 25
