\"find the three consecutive odd integers
\n" ); document.write( "such that three times the smallest
\n" ); document.write( "plus four times the largest will result
\n" ); document.write( "in the middle integer plus 104.\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = 1st consecutive odd integer
\n" ); document.write( "x + 2 = 2nd consecutive odd integer
\n" ); document.write( "x + 4 = 3rd consecutive odd integer\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3x + 4(x + 4) = x + 2 + 104 {three times smallest plus four times largest equals middle plus 104}
\n" ); document.write( "3x + 4x + 16 = x + 2 + 104 {used distributive property}
\n" ); document.write( "7x + 16 = x + 106 {combined like terms}
\n" ); document.write( "7x = x + 90 {subtracted 16 from both sides{
\n" ); document.write( "6x = 90 {subtracted x from both sides}
\n" ); document.write( "x = 15 {divided both sides by 6}
\n" ); document.write( "x + 2 = 17 {substituted 15, in for x, into x + 2}
\n" ); document.write( "x + 4 = 19 {substituted 15, in for x, into x + 4}\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "15, 17, and 19 are the three consecutive odd integers
