Question 940889: Find three consecutive odd integers such that the sum of twice the first integer and three times the second integer is seven more than twice the third integer
This is what I tried..
2(x) +3(x+2)+7=2(x+4)
2x+3x+6+7=2x+8
5x+13=2x+8
3x+13=8
3x=-5

The correct equation is 2x + 3(x+2) = 7 + 2(x+4) (read carefully!)
