Let x = 1st odd integer
\n" ); document.write( "x + 2 = 2nd odd integer
\n" ); document.write( "x + 4 = 3rd odd integer
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "(x) + (x + 4) = (x + 2) + 15
\n" ); document.write( "x + x + 4 = x + 2 + 15
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Combine like terms.
\n" ); document.write( "2x - x = 17 - 4
\n" ); document.write( "x = 13
\n" ); document.write( "x + 2 = 13 + 2 = 15
\n" ); document.write( "x + 4 = 13 + 4 = 17
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "The three consecutive odd integers are 13, 15, and 17.\r
