    3 consecutive odd integers : x, x + 2, x + 4

    3 (x + x + 2 + x + 4) = x (x + 2) + 24

    3 (3x + 6) = x^2 + 2x + 24

    9x + 18 = x^2 + 2x + 24

    x^2 - 7x + 6 = 0

    (x - 1) (x - 6) = 0

    x - 1 = 0

    x = 1

    x - 6 = 0

    x = 6 (this will not work ... it is even)

    ur 3 consecutive odd integers:

    x = 1

    x + 2 = 1 + 2 = 3

    x + 4 = 1 + 4 = 5
