Hi,

Find three consecutive odd integers highlight%28x%29,highlight%28x%2B2%29,highlight%28x%2B4%29 such tha:t 

the sum of the first integer, twice the second integer, and three times the third is 82. 

 x + 2(x+2) + 3(x+4) = 82

    6x + 4 + 12 = 82

        6x = 66

         x = 11 

The three consecutive odd integers are 11, 13, 15
