You can put this solution on YOUR website! If the least of three consecutive odd numbers is x, then the next consecutive odd number would be x + 2, and the greatest of the three would be x + 4. But we are told that the sum of the least and the greatest is 110. So we can write:
Now all we have to do is solve for x.
Remembering that the question asks for all three of the integers, the complete answer becomes:
, and , and .
Check the answer:
53, 55, and 57 are three consecutive odd integers. The least is 53 and the greatest is 57 and
