You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let x = the first odd integer, then x+2 will be the next consecutive odd integer and x+4 will be the next consecutive odd integer after that.
\n" ); document.write( "The sum of these is equal to 117, so you can write the equation:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2B%28x%2B2%29%2B%28x%2B4%29+=+117\"$ Combine like-terms.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3x%2B6+=+117\"$ Subtract 6 from both sides.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3x+=+111\"$ Finally, divide both sides by 3.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+37\"$ This is the first odd integer.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2B2+=+39\"$ This is the next consecutive odd integer.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2B4+=+41\"$ This is the next consecutive odd integer.
\n" ); document.write( "Check\"
\n" ); document.write( " $\"37%2B39%2B41+=+117\"$ OK! \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
