Hey!

It says that it is the sum of 3 consecutive odd integers right?

So then we give these numbers some variables to work with like so...

x = 1st number
x + 2 = 2nd number
x + 4 = 3rd number

now set all of them equal to 207

x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 207
3x + 6 = 207
3x = 201
x = 67 x + 2 = 69 x + 4 = 71
