You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let x = first odd integer
then
x+2 = second odd integer
x+4 = third odd integer
.
x + x+2 = x+4 + 29
2x+2 = x + 33
x+2 = 33
x = 31 (first integer)
.
x+2 = 31+2 = 33 (second integer)
.
x+4 = 31+4 = 35 (third integer)
.
The three integers: 31, 33, and 35

-------------------------
1st: 2x-1
2nd: 2x+1
3rd: 2x+3
-------------------
Equation:
1st + 2nd = 3rd + 29
2x-1 + 2x+1 = 2x+3 + 29
2x = 32
x = 16
------------
1st: 2x-1 = 31
2nd: 33
3rd: 35
