Answer:

B

Explanation:

There is a difference of 2 between consecutive odd integers.

let n , n + 2 and n + 4 be the 3 consecutive odd integers, then

n + n + 2 + n + 4 = 87 , that is

3n + 6 = 87 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

3n = 81 ( divide both sides by 3 )

n = 27, n + 2 = 27 + 2 = 29, n + 4 = 27 + 4 = 31

Thus

The 3 consecutive odd integers are 27, 29, 31 → B
