Since we are finding the sum of three consecutive odd integers, we will be skipping our even numbers so we can set up an equation.

X + X + 2 + X + 4 = 63

Now, since we have 3 X's on the same side, we can combine them. We can also combine 4 and 2 together to get 6.

3x + 6 = 63

-6 -6 ← subtract 6 on both sides

3x = 57

÷3 ÷3

X = 19

X + 2 = 21

X + 4 = 23

Therefore, our three consecutive odd integers are 19, 21, and 23.
