Hi,

three consecutive odd integers

 x        79

x + 2     81

x + 4     83

if the second is divided by 3 and then the result is subtracted from 5 more than the sum of the other two integers

the answer is 140

Question states***

 %282x%2B4+%2B+5%29+-+%28x%2B2%29%2F3+=+140  |Multiplying thru by 3 so as all denominators = 1

   3(2x + 9) - (x+2) = 420

    6x + 27 - x - 2 = 420

           5x = 395

            x = 79

and...

167+-+27+=+420
