find three consecutive odd positive integers such that the sum of all three is 26 less than the product of the first and second integers.
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "n-2 + n + n+2 = (n-2)*n - 26
\n" ); document.write( "3n = n^2 -2n - 26
\n" ); document.write( "n^2 - 5n - 26 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "No integer solution. \n" ); document.write( "
