Find three cnsecutive odd integers such that twice the first, decreased by the second is 35.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = first consecutive odd integer
\n" ); document.write( "x + 2 = second consecutive odd integer
\n" ); document.write( "x + 4 = third consecutive odd integer
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "2x - (x + 2) = 35
\n" ); document.write( "2x - x - 2 = 35
\n" ); document.write( "x - 2 = 35
\n" ); document.write( "x = 37
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore, the three consecutive odd integers are:
\n" ); document.write( "37, 39 and 41
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
