Question 67077: Please help me with odd integers!
Find three consecutive odd integers such that the product of the first two minus four times the third is 19.
I've got the following done:
x = first number
x+2 = second number
x+4 = third number
Not sure if the problem setup is correct, though.
x(x+2)-4(x-4)=19
Thank you!

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Your setup is good; now solve for "x"
then x+2, then x+4.
Cheers,
