four times the sum of three consecutives odd integers is the same as 221 more than 5 times the largest integer. Find the integers

consecutive odd integers differ by 2.
so, if the integers are x, x+2, x+4 then you just have to solve
4(x + x+2 + x+4) = 221+5(x+4)
217?
217,219,221
Hmmm. How did you arrive at that answer?
I think you went astray at the step
7x = 217
31,33,35
that's better.
