Let x, (x+2) & (x+4) be the 3 odd integers.
\n" ); document.write( "x+(x+2)=(x+4)+5
\n" ); document.write( "2x+2=x+9
\n" ); document.write( "2x-x=9-2
\n" ); document.write( "x=7 ans.
\n" ); document.write( "Proof:
\n" ); document.write( "7+(7+2)=(7+4)+5
\n" ); document.write( "7+9=11+5
\n" ); document.write( "16=16
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
