Question

Twice the smallest of three consecutive odd integers is three more than the largest. Find the integers. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list.)

Answer 1

answer: 1, 3, 5

let x represent the smallest consecutive odd integer

2x + 3 = x + 4
2x - x = 4 - 3
x = 1

therefore the lowest integer is 1, making the other two 3 and 5.
