You can put this solution on YOUR website! If the first and third of three consecutive odd integers are added, the result is 69 less than five times the second integer. Find all three integers.
-----------
1st: 2x-1
2nd: 2x+1
3rd: 2x+3
-----------
Equation:
2x-1+2x+3 = 5(2x+1)-69
--------
4x+2 = 10x-64
6x = 66
x = 11
---
1st: 2x-1 = 21
2nd: 2x+1 = 23
3rd: 2x+3 = 25
