You can put this solution on YOUR website! find three consecutive odd numbers whose sum is 111 ----------------------
 Odd numbers are always one more than a multiple of two:
 ----------------------
 1st: 2x+1
 2nd: 2x+3
 3rd: 2x+5
 ------------
 EQUATION:
 2x+1+2x+3+2x+5 = 111
 6x+9 = 111
 6x = 102
 x = 17
 -----------
 2x+1 = 35
 2x+3 = 17
 2x+5 = 19
