Let $\"x\"$ = integer
\n" ); document.write( "Let $\"x%2B2\"$ = consecutive odd integer
\n" ); document.write( "Let $\"x%2B4\"$ = the next consecutive odd integer
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "If the sum of the second and third integers is three less than three times the first integer, our equation becomes:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x%2B2%29%2B%28x%2B4%29=3x-3\"$
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Now solve for x to find your first integer. The other two will be easy to figure out.
