Find three consecutive odd integers
\n" ); document.write( "x, (x+2), (x+4)
\n" ); document.write( " such that the sum of the first and three times the second minus two times the third is twenty.
\n" ); document.write( "x + 3(x+2) - 2(x+4) = 20
\n" ); document.write( "x + 3x + 6 - 2x - 8 = 20
\n" ); document.write( "combine like terms
\n" ); document.write( "x + 3x - 2x + 6 - 8 = 20
\n" ); document.write( "2x - 2 = 20
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 22
\n" ); document.write( "x = 11, 13, 15 are the numbers
