Let the first odd integer be 2k+1,\ k \in \mathbb{Z}. This is a generic odd number, because 2k is twice an integer, and thus is even, and adding the +1 makes it odd.

So, three consecutive odd numbers are

2k+1,\ 2k+3,\ 2k+5

The sum of the first and second is 2k+1 + 2k+3 = 4k+4

31 less than 3 times the third is 3(2k+5)-31 = 6k-16

So we can define the equation

4k+4 = 6k-16 \iff 2k = 20 \iff k = 10

So, the three numbers are

2k+1,\ 2k+3,\ 2k+5 = 2\cdot 10+1,\ 2\cdot 10+3,\ 2\cdot 10+5 = 21, 23, 25

Holly rode her bike for 24 miles at 6 miles per hour. She finished her ride at 1:00 p.m.
Bezzdna [24]
Time = distance/speed
Since you want to find the time Holly spent riding, you need to divide her distance (24 miles) by her speed (6 miles/hour) to get the number of hours (4) that she rode. Her starting time added to the time spend riding will give her ending time. One must subtract the riding time from the ending time to find the starting time.

Selection A is appropriate.
