The first and third of three consecutive odd integers are added, the result is 69 less than five times the second integer. What is the third integer?
----
Note: integer has only one "r".
------------------------------
1st: 2x-1
2nd: 2x+1
3rd: 2x+3
----------
Equation:
(2x-1) + (2x+3) = 5(2x+1)-69
4x+2 = 10x-64
6x = 66
x = 11
----
1st: 2x-1 = 21
2nd: 2x+1 = 23
3rd: 2x+3 = 25
