Find four consecutive odd integers such that the sum of the first three EXCEEDS the fourth by 18.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Four consecutive odd integers, x, (x+2), (x+4), (x+6)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Sum of the 1st three: x + (x+2) + (x+4) = (3x + 6)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Exceeds the 4th
\n" ); document.write( "3x + 6 = x + 6 + 18
\n" ); document.write( "3x - x = 6 + 18 - 6
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 18
\n" ); document.write( " x = 9
