3 consecutive odd integers: x, x+2, x+4.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "x + x+2 = 3(x+4) -49
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "2x +2 = 3x +12 -49
\n" ); document.write( "-x = -39
\n" ); document.write( "x = 39
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Always check your work.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "x + x+2 = 39 + 39 + 2
\n" ); document.write( " = 80
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "3*(x+4) = 3(43)
\n" ); document.write( " = 129
\n" ); document.write( "- 49
\n" ); document.write( "= 80
\n" ); document.write( "Correct.
