\n" ); document.write( "Find three consecutive odd positive integers such that 5 times the sum of all three is 60 more than the product of the first and second integers.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The smallest odd integer is ___.
\n" ); document.write( "The next consecutive odd integer is ____.
\n" ); document.write( "The third consecutive odd integer is ____.
\n" ); document.write( "

With the smallest integer being S, the following equation is formed:
\n" );
document.write( "5(S + S + 2 + S + 4) = S(S + 2) + 60
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "Continue to solve for S, the smallest integer. Add 2 to S to get the middle integer, and then 4 to S to get the largest integer.
\n" );
document.write( "You will get 2 possible answers. Based on the given info. determine which is correct.
\n" );
document.write( "It's that simple.....nothing COMPLEX!! \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
