You have to find three consecutive odd integers whose sum is equal to three.

Let "x" represent the first odd integer.

Then "x+2" will represent the next odd integer.

And "x+4" will represent the third consecutive odd integer.

As mentioned, the sum of the three integers adds up to 3 so that:


x+(x+2)+(x+4)=3

From this expression, you can calculate the value of the first integer "x".

-Erase the parentheses, order the like terms and s
