Two times the least of three consecutive odd integers exceeds three times the greatest by 15

What are 3 odd integers?

n, n + 2, n + 4 - three consecutive odd integers

The equation:

2n = 3 (n + 4) + 15 |use distributive property

2n = (3) (n) + (3) (4) + 15

2n = 3n + 12 + 15

2n = 3n + 27 |subtract 3n from both sides

-n = 27 |change the signs

n = - 27

n + 2 = - 27 + 2 = - 25

n + 4 = - 27 + 4 = - 23

Answer: - 27, - 25, - 23.
