Question 247160: What is twice the sum of 3 consecutive odd integers that equal 150?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let x = integer
Let x+2 = consecutive odd integer
Let x+4 = the next consecutive odd integer
Twice their sum equals 150, therefore the equation becomes:

2%28x%2B%28x%2B2%29%2B%28x%2B4%29%29=150

Now solve for x to determine the first integer.
The other two would be very easy to figure out.
I'll let you take it from here. :)
