Question

Find three consecutive odd intergers such that the four times the largest is one more than nine times the smallest interger,

Answer 1

consecutive YAY!
consecutive means, 3 integers. so
x,y,z.

lets say x<y<z.
4z = 9x+1
and
x+2 = y.
y+2 = z.
substitute :)

Answer 2

Let's set up a system of equations.

Three consecutive odd integers: \[x ~ and ~y = x + 2 ~ and ~z = y + 2\]
Four times the largest is one more than nine times the smallest. \[4*z = 9*x+1\]
