Question

Using three consecutive odd integers, such that if 3 time the second is subtracted from the third, the difference equals 24. find the first integer

Answer 1

x= first odd integer
x+2 = second odd integer
x+4=third odd integer
x+4-3(x+2)=24
x+4-3x-6=24
-2x-2=24
-2x=26
x=-13
x+2=-11
x+4=-9
