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
