Let 1st odd integer be N
Then other 2 are: N + 2, and N + 4
We then have: N + N + 2 + N + 4 = 1,035
3N + 6 = 1,035
3N = 1,029
N, or 1st odd integer =  , or 
2nd odd integer = N + 2, or 343 + 2, or 
3rd odd integer = N + 4, or 343 + 4, or 
OR
Divide 1,035 by 3 to get middle odd integer
 = 345
1st = middle - 2, or 345 - 2, or 343
3rd = middle + 2, or 345 + 2, or 347
You can do the check!!
