Which odd numbers?

Consecutive odd numbers?
Let n be any integer not equal to 0.
%282n%2B1%29%2B%282n%2B3%29%2B%282n%2B5%29
6n%2B9
Sum of three consecutive odd numbers


Sum is 31?
6n%2B9=31
6n=22
No; not sum of consecutive odd numbers.
Maybe some other set will work, of odd numbers.
One example, 11+7+13;
there are other examples too.
