Call the consecutive odd integers
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n+\"$ , $\"+n+%2B+2+\"$ , and $\"+n+%2B+4+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "given:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n+%2B+n+%2B+2+=+3%2A%28+n+%2B+4+%29+-+49+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2n+%2B+2+=+3n+%2B+12+-+49+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+3n+-+2n+=+49+-+12+%2B+2+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n+=+51+-+12+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n+=+39+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n+%2B+2+=+41+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n+%2B+4+=+43+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The consecutive odd integers are 39, 41, and 43
\n" ); document.write( "check:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+3%2A43+=+129+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+3%2A43+-+49+=+80+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+39+%2B+41+=+80+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "OK \n" ); document.write( "
