Let
\n" ); document.write( "1st Odd integer = x+1
\n" ); document.write( "2nd Odd integer = x+3
\n" ); document.write( "3rd Odd integer = x+5\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "sum of 1st and 3rd is 42\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x+1+x+5=42
\n" ); document.write( "2x+6=42
\n" ); document.write( "2x=42-6
\n" ); document.write( "2x=36
\n" ); document.write( "x=36/2
\n" ); document.write( "x=18\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1st Odd integer = x+1 = 18+1 = 19
\n" ); document.write( "2nd Odd integer = x+3 = 18+3 = 21
\n" ); document.write( "3rd Odd integer = x+5 = 18+5 = 23\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Check
\n" ); document.write( "=====
\n" ); document.write( "19+23=42
\n" ); document.write( "42=42
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
