There are 17 people. 3 Times 5 = 15 + 2 = 17
Just substitute the value of x from equation 2 in equation 1,
6y = x - 12
6y = 22 - 12
y= 10/6
y = 5/3
In short, Your Answer would be Option Option B) (22, 5/3)

You're asking for three consecutive odd numbers, then
Let, the numbers = x, x+2, x+4
It is given that, x + x+2+ x+4 = -27
3x + 6 = -27
3x = -27 - 6
x = -33/3
x = -11
Then, x+2 = -9 & x+4 = -7
In short, Your Numbers would be: -7, -9,-11
