The sum of the third and twice the first of three consecutive odd integers is 49. Find all three consecutive odd integers.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let the odd consecutive integers be: x, (x+2), (x+4)

\n" ); document.write( "Write an equation for the statement:
\n" ); document.write( "\"sum of the third and twice the first of three consecutive odd integers is 49.\"
\n" ); document.write( "(x+4) + 2x = 49
\n" ); document.write( "3x + 4 = 49
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 49 - 4
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 45
\n" ); document.write( "x = $\"45%2F3\"$
\n" ); document.write( "x = 15 is the 1st odd integer, then 17, then 19
