There are no consecutive odd integers whose sum is equal to 35. 9+11+13 = 33, and 11+13+15 = 39.

Consecutive even numbers are any even numbers which are separated by one (uneven) number... so that 6 and 8 are consecutive even numbers... as are 22, 24 and 26. Similarly, consecutive odd numbers are numbers which are separated by one (even) number... so that 11 and 13 are consecutive odd numbers... as are 31, 33 and 35.
Consecutive odd integers would be 5 and 7.
33, 35, and 37
trial and error; 5x7=35 9x9=82, difference of 47. not big enough difference. 7x9=63 11x11=121. differenence of 58, which is too big. sorry, but this means there is not answer.
Let X be the first odd number, so X+2 will be the next odd number, and X+4 will be the final odd number. X * (X+2) = (X+4)2 - 46 X2+2X = X2+8X+16-46 X2+2X = X2+8X-30 Rearrange to get like terms to one side, 6X = 30 X =5 So the next two odd numbers would be 7 & 9 We can check the results: 5*7 =? 92 -46 35 =? 81-46 35 = 35 So the results are correct.Consecutive odd means that there is a difference of 2 between each number and the next. If you call the smallest number x, the other two will be x+2, and x+4.So, your equation will be: x(x+2) = (x+4)2 - 46.
