If the first and third of three consecutive odd integers are added, the result is 81 less than five times the second integer. find the third integer. 27

Answer; 27

Explanation:

x = first consecutive number

x + 2 = second consecutive number

x + 4 = third consecutive number

x + x + 4 = 5 (x + 2) - 81

2x + 4 = 5x + 10 - 81

2x + 4 = 5x - 71

3x = 75

x = 25

First number = x = 25

Second number = x + 2 = 27

Third number = x + 4 = 29
