The sum of three consecutive odd integers is 207. What are the integers?

Hey!

It says that it is the sum of 3 consecutive odd integers right?

So then we give these numbers some variables to work with like so ...

x = 1st number

x + 2 = 2nd number

x + 4 = 3rd number

now set all of them equal to 207

x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 207

3x + 6 = 207

3x = 201

x = 67 x + 2 = 69 x + 4 = 71
