Let the integers be n-2 , n & n + 2
Hence
(n - 2) + n + (n+2) = 261Removing the brackets we have
n - 2 + n + n + 2 = 261
The '2' on the left hand sidfe adds to zero.
Hence
3n = 261
Divide both sides by '3'
n = 261/3 = 87
Hence n- 2 = 85
n + 2 = 89
So the three odd integers are
85,87,& 89.

What are three consecutive odd integers whose sum is 225?
Divide the sum of the three consecutive odd integers by 3: 225/3 = 75. The smallest of these integers will be two less than 75 and the largest will be two more than 75, so the three consecutive odd integers will be 73, 75, and 77.
Find three consecutive odd integers whose sum is 135?
Those three odd integers are 43, 45, and 47.
Find three consecutive integers with sum 402?
Divide the sum of the three consecutive odd integers by 3: 402/3 = 134. The smallest of these integers will be two less than 134 and the largest will be two more than 134, so the three consecutive odd integers will be 132, 134, and 136.
Find 3 consecutive odd integers whose sum is 51?
Divide the sum of the three consecutive odd integers by 3: 51 / 3 = 17. The smallest of these integers will be two less than 17 and the largest will be two more than 17, so the three consecutive odd integers will be 15, 17, and 19.
Find the three consecutive odd integers with a sum of 39?
The integers are 11, 13 and 15.
