Question 589643: I'm stuck with this problem..I know the 3 consecutive is;
1st= x
2nd= x+2
3rd= x+4
There are three consecutive odd integers, and the sum of the smaller two integers is 49 less than 3 times the largest integers. Find he the three consecutive integers.

great! from there you will translate:"the sum of the smaller two integers is 49 less than 3 times the largest integers"
x + (x + 2) = 3(x + 4) - 49
Solve this equation for x and find your three integers.
Good luck!
