Question 450910
If the first and third of three consecutive odd integers are added, the result is 69 less than five times the second integer. Find all three integers.
-----------
1st: 2x-1
2nd: 2x+1
3rd: 2x+3
-----------
Equation:
2x-1+2x+3 = 5(2x+1)-69
--------
4x+2 = 10x-64
6x = 66
x = 11
---
1st: 2x-1 = 21
2nd: 2x+1 = 23
3rd: 2x+3 = 25
