Step-by-Step:
Let the first odd Integer be ( 2n + 1 ) where n is any Integer.
Therefore the next (consecutive) odd Integer is
( ( 2n + 1 + 2 ) or ( 2n + 3 )
Consequently the next odd Integer is
( 2n + 3 + 2 ) or ( 2n + 5 )
We are told:
Three times the first of three consecutive odd integers is 3 more than twice the third or:
3( 2n + 1 ) = 2( 2n + 5 ) + 3 so
( 6n + 3 ) = ( 4n +10 ) + 3 so
( 6n - 4n ) = ( 10 - 3 +3 ) or
( 2n ) = ( 10 )
Therefore ( n ) = ( 5 )
Although not asked, therefore
The first odd Integer is ( 2n + 1) = 11
The second odd Integer is ( 2n + 3 ) = 13
The third odd Integer is ( 2n + 5 ) = 15
