  &lt;pre&gt;&lt;font size = 3 color = &quot;indigo&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;
Hi,         
Let x, (x+2)and (x+4) represent the three positive consecutive odd intergers
Write as we Read***
(x+4) - 3(x+2) = x -47
solving for x
 -2x -2 = x - 47
    45 = 3x
    15 = x
 15, 17 and 19 are the three positive consecutive odd intergers

CHECKING our Answer
 19 - 3*17 = -32 = 15-47</PRE>
