You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let x = 1st consecutive odd integer.
x+2 = second consecutive odd integer.
x+4 = third consecutive odd integer.
x+6 = fourth consecutive odd integer.
Therefore (1st odd integer). (2nd odd integer). (3rd odd integer). (4th odd integer).

-------------------
80/4 = 20, the average and the center of the group of numbers.
--> 17, 19, 21, & 23
------------------------
and why?
23 is the largest because it's larger than the others. What a stupid question.
