Question 722049
The sum of three consecutive odd integers is 189. What are the integers? 


Let the three consecutive odd integers be:

n + 1, n + 3 and n + 5

Therefore:

n + 1 + n + 3 + n + 5 = 189

3n + 9 = 189

3n = 180

n = 60

n + 1 = 61

n + 3 = 63 and

n + 5 = 65


Answer:

The three consecutive odd integers are:

61, 63 and 65
