The consecutive odd integers can be defined as:
\n" ); document.write( "x
\n" ); document.write( "x+2
\n" ); document.write( "x+4
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "4x + 3(x+4) = 159
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "4x + 3x +12 = 159
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "7x = 147
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "x = 21
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "x+2 = 23
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "x+4 = 25
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Done. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
