The sum of three consecutive odd numbers is 165.what is the sum of the largest number and twice the smallest number?
\n" ); document.write( "

Logically, the MIDDLE integer is: 
\n" );
document.write( "From this, you should be able to find the others and answer the question
\n" );
document.write( "OR
\n" );
document.write( "Algebraically, let the smallest integer be S
\n" );
document.write( "Then middle is: S + 2, and largest = S + 4
\n" );
document.write( "The sum-equation: S + S + 2 + S + 4 = 165 ensues.
\n" );
document.write( "Solve for S, the smallest, and then add 2 and 4 to get the middle and the largest, respectively.
\n" );
document.write( "Answer the question!
\n" );
document.write( "That's it...nothing COMPLEX and CONFUSING! \n" );
