24. dess sense-making two times the least of three consecutive odd integers exceeds
three times the greatest by 15. what are the integers?
solve each equation. check your solution.
- 12 12

-27, -25, -23

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the three consecutive odd integers be:

First integer = a

Second integer = a + 2

Third integer = a + 4

Two times the least integer = 15 + three times the greatest

2a = 3(a + 4) + 15

2a = 3a + 12 + 15

2a - 3a = 27

a = -27

So the first integer is -27, the second integer is -25 and the third integer is -23.
