As consecutive odd numbers differ by two (example: 3, 5, 7), the first odd number can be expressed as 2n + 1, the next can be found by adding two to the first to get 2n + 1 + 2 which simplifies to 2n + 3. Finally the expression for the third consecutive odd integer can be found by adding two to the previous, 2n + 3, to get 2n + 5. Adding these three together and setting them equal to your sum gets the equation
2n + 1 + 2n + 3 + 2n + 5 = 63
Combine like terms and solve For n.
Once you have n, you must substitute it back into your three expressions (2n + 1, 2n + 3, 2n + 5) to find the three odd integers.
Hope this helps :)

Answer:
no
Step-by-step explanation:
It is impossible to plot an equilateral triangle on a coordinate grid using integer coordinates. The given triangle may be close, but <em>cannot be an equilateral triangle</em>.
Add 2 to both sides...x>3
