Let x be the FIRST odd integer then x + 2 be the next odd consecutive integer and x + 4 is the next odd consecutive integer.
\n" ); document.write( "The sum of the first and the third odd integer is 70:
\n" ); document.write( "x + (x + 4) = 70
\n" ); document.write( "x + x + 4 = 70
\n" ); document.write( "2x + 4 = 70
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 70 -4
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 66
\n" ); document.write( "x = 66/2
\n" ); document.write( "x = 33
\n" ); document.write( "Thus the 1st odd number is 33. The second is 33 + 2 = 35. The third one is 33+ 4 = 37
\n" ); document.write( "Three odd numbers are 33, 35, 37.
