3rd integer, n
2nd integer, n-2
1st integer, n-4

----------------------------------------------------------------
1st and 3rd of three consecutive odd integers are added together, the result is 35 less than three times the second integer.
--------------------------------------------------------------
n-4%2Bn=-35%2B3%28n-2%29
2n-4=3n-6-35
-4=n-41
n=41-4
highlight%28n=37%29---------the 3rd odd integer

Other two are 35 and 33.
