P=A+B+C
\n" ); document.write( "P=297
\n" ); document.write( "x=an odd number(Ex if x=5 then 5+2 is odd and 5+4 is odd making 5,7,9 consecutive odd numbers)
\n" ); document.write( "A=x
\n" ); document.write( "B=x+2
\n" ); document.write( "C=x+4
\n" ); document.write( "plug into the first equation
\n" ); document.write( " $\"P=A%2BB%2BC\"$
