\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If we start with an odd number and each number in the sequence is \"2\" more than the previous number then we will get consecutive odd integers.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if first one is \"x\", second one will be \"x%2B2\", and third one will be \"x%2B4\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the sum is: \"x%2B%28x%2B2%29%2B%28x%2B4%29=-3\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2B%28x%2B2%29%2B%28x%2B4%29=-3\"...solve for \"x\"\r
