Answer:

D.)x (x + 2) · (x + 4) = 75

Explanation:

Well, the easiest way to look at this is by first placing both the 2nd odd integer and the 3rd odd integer into parenthesis finally you simply add the 1st integer to the beginning of the equation. You simply just use the information given and piece it all together into an equation usually written in the same order that the information was given.

Also, to find out the operations in the equations you simply use the keywords given in the problem itself. In this problem, they used the phrase "The product of three consecutive odd integers is 75." since we know that product means to multiply then we also know that we are multiplying all of the integers together to give us our final answer of 75.
