\n" ); document.write( "Find three consecutive odd number such that 5 times the middle number is greater than the sum of the first and last number by 495.
\n" ); document.write( "
Let 1st number be F
\n" );
document.write( "Then middle and largest =  F + 2, and F + 4, respectively
\n" );
document.write( "We then get: 5(F + 2) = F + F + 4 + 495
\n" );
document.write( "5F + 10 = 2F + 499
\n" );
document.write( "5F - 2F = 499 - 10
\n" );
document.write( "3F = 489
\n" );
document.write( "F, or 1st = \"highlight_green%28matrix%281%2C3%2C+489%2F3%2C+or%2C+163%29%29\"
\n" );
document.write( "You should be able to find the middle and largest! \n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
