Greetings!
To start this problem, let's first assign a variable for the missing, consecutive odd numbers. Since they are consecutive and odd, we add two.
<u>Proof:</u> <em>3-1=2, 5-3=2</em>
The first, consecutive, odd number: ![x](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20x%20)
The second, consecutive, odd number: ![x+2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20x%2B2%20)
The third, consecutive, odd number: ![x+4](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20x%2B4%20)
The fourth, consecutive, odd number: ![x+6](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20x%2B6%20)
The sum of the values are equal to 3 times the sum of the first two numbers, of which this is equal to 35 less than the fourth number. Let's create an equation to simplify this:
![3((x)+(x+2))=(x+6)-35](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%203%28%28x%29%2B%28x%2B2%29%29%3D%28x%2B6%29-35%20)
Complete the operations inside the parenthesis:
![3(2x+2)=(x+6)-35](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%203%282x%2B2%29%3D%28x%2B6%29-35%20)
Distribute the parenthesis (utilizing the distributive property)
![(((2x)(3))+((2)(3)))=(x+6)-35](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%28%28%282x%29%283%29%29%2B%28%282%29%283%29%29%29%3D%28x%2B6%29-35%20)
![(6x+6)=(x+6)-35](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%286x%2B6%29%3D%28x%2B6%29-35%20)
Simplify both sides:
![6x+6=x-29](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=6x%2B6%3Dx-29)
Add -6 and -x to both sides of the equation:
![(6x+6)+(-6)+(-x)=(x-29)+(-6)+(-x)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%286x%2B6%29%2B%28-6%29%2B%28-x%29%3D%28x-29%29%2B%28-6%29%2B%28-x%29)
![5x=-35](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=5x%3D-35)
Divide both sides of the equation by 5:
![\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{-35}{5}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cfrac%7B5x%7D%7B5%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B-35%7D%7B5%7D%20%20%20)
![x=-7](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20x%3D-7%20)
If
is equal to -7:
![x+2=-5](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20x%2B2%3D-5%20)
![x+4=-3](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20x%2B4%3D-3%20)
![x+6=-1](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20x%2B6%3D-1%20)
The four numbers are:
![\boxed{-7,-5,-3,-1}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cboxed%7B-7%2C-5%2C-3%2C-1%7D%20)
I hope this helps!
