Let the first odd number be x
second odd number be x+2
third odd number be x+4
the sum of the three consecutive odd integers = 69
Equation:
(x) + (x+2) + (x+4) = 69
3x + 6 = 69
3x = 69 - 6
3x = 63
3x/3 = 63/3
x = 21
The three consecutive odd integers are:
x = 21
x+2 = 23
x + 4 = 25
To check:
21 + 23 + 25 = 69
69 = 69
