Question 163294
The three consecutive off integers: x, x+2, x+4
:
Just write what it says ("is" means "="):
"Four times the largest of three consecutive odd integers decreased by ten is the same as two times the smaller integer increased by 48." 
4(x+4) - 10 = 2x + 48
4x + 16 - 10 = 2x + 48
4x + 6 = 2x + 48
4x - 2x = 48 - 6
2x = 42
x = 21

Check solution in the given statement:
4(25) - 10  = 2(21) + 48
