Let 3 consecutive ODD integers be a,b,and c
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "b=a+2(remember odd and even integers are two numbers apart)
\n" ); document.write( "c=a+4(because its two odd integers or 4 more than a)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "3(a)=((a+2)+(a+4))-1
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "3a=2a+5
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " $\"a=5\"$
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "b=5+2=7
\n" ); document.write( "c=5+4=9
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "integers are: $\"system%285%2C7%2C9%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
