Hello :
let three consecutive odd integers : (2n+1) , (2n+3) ,(2n+5)
 (2n+1)+ (2n+3)+(2n+5) = 51
6n + 9 = 51
6n = 45
n = 42/6
n = 7
if n = 7 : 2(7)+1 = 15
: 2(7) +3 =17
: 2(7) +5 = 19
three consecutive odd integers with a sum of 51 are: 15 , 17 , 19
15+17+19 =

Answer:

5 and 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey! So to start you need to create an algebraic expression. You can express this problem through the following equation:

*Note: if x is an odd integer, x + 2 is the next consecutive odd integer.

$x *(x+2)=35$

Expanding, you get:

$x^{2}+2x = 35.$

And moving the 35 to the other side, you get a simple quadratic.

$x^{2}+2x -35 =0.$

Solving by factoring:

$(x+7)(x-5)$

This means two possible solutions for the smaller consecutive number are -7 and 5. However the question asks for two positive odd integers, so one of the numbers must be 5. The next will be 7(as its x + 2).
