Let's take our two integers, we'll call them x and y.
We're told:
y = x + 1
2x - y = 68
We can take the first equation and substitute it for y in the second one, then solve for x:
2x - (x + 1) = 68
x - 1 = 68
x = 69
We already know that y = x + 1, so we can say:
x = 69, y = 70
The integers are 37, 38 and 39.
There are no three consecutive odd integers who's sum equals 13.

Find two consecuitive integers whose sum is 89. To solve this problem, let x be the smaller of these integers. What is the larger of these two consecutive integers? In terms of x, write a formula that represents the sum of these two consecutive integers.
The integers are 20 and 22.
Let's represent the two consecutive integers as x and x + 1. The sum of these two integers is x + (x + 1) = 2x + 1. We are given that this sum equals -30.03, so 2x + 1 = -30.03. Solving for x, we get x = (-30.03 - 1) / 2 = -31.03 / 2 = -15.515. Therefore, the two consecutive integers are -15 and -14.
