    Odd integers that are consecutive are 2 apart

    they are

    x, x+2, x+4

    the smallest is x

    x is 3 more than 2 times the largest

    x=3+2 (x+4)

    x=3+2x+8

    x=2x+11

    minus x frmo both sides

    0=x+11

    minus 11 both sides

    x=-11

    the largest is x+4

    -11+4=-7

    the largest integer is - 7
