Question

The sum of three consecutive odd integers is 18 less than five times the middle number. Find the three integers.

Answer 1

Let x be the smallest integer. Then, the other two integers are x+2, and x+4
From the question, we can get this equation.
x + (x+2) + (x+4) = 5(x+2) - 18
Now, you need to solve it, can you?
