Find three consecutive odd integers.

Question

The sum of twice the 2 integer and three times the largest integer is five less than four times the smallest integer. Has to have a clear LET STATEMENT.

Answer 1

2M + 3L = 4S-5

3 consecutive odd integers are x-2, x and x+2

2x + 3(x+2) = 4(x-2) -5

2x + 3x + 6 = 4x-8-5

5x +6 = 4x -13

x = -19

-21,-19 and -17 are the 3 consecutive odd integers: 2(-19) + 3(-17) = 4(-21) -5, -38-51=-84-5
