Let the middle one be n, then:
(n - 2)(n + 2) = 3n + 6
→ n² - 4 = 3n + 6
→ n² - 3n - 10 = 0
→ (n + 2)(n - 5) = 0
→ n = -2 or 5
-2 can be discounted as n is odd
→ n = 5
→ largest of the three odd numbers is 5 + 2 = 7.

The product of two consecutive integers is 156?
Yes, the integers are 12 and 13.
Two consecutive positive integers have a product of 156 find the smaller integer?
13 and 12 are the two integers that have the product of 156 and 12 is the smaller of the two.

The integers are 5 and 7.
If the largest of three consecutive even integers is multiplied by three the product is 2 less than twice the sum of the first two integers find the integers?
The answer would be 10 12 and 14... 14 x 3 = 42 and 2(10 + 12) = 44. So the product of the largest integer and three is two less than twice the sum of the lower integers.
The sum of four consecutive odd integers is 200. What is the product of the smallest integer and the largestinteger?
