odd numbers are 2 apart so if we call the first one x,
then the next two are x+2 and x+4
translate to math:
"the sum of three times the first and the third is 72"
3x + x+4 = 72
solve for x, etc
then the next two are x+2 and x+4
translate to math:
"the sum of three times the first and the third is 72"
3x + x+4 = 72
solve for x, etc
