The integers are 26 and 27.
Divide the sum of the three consecutive odd integers by 3: 159/3 = 53. The smallest of these integers will be two less than 53 and the largest will be two more than 53, so the three consecutive odd integers will be 51, 53, and 55.
6x + 5 = 53 6x = 48 x = 8 8 + 45 = 53 8 and 9
The integers are 51, 53, 55 and 57.
53 54 55
The two consecutive integers that have a sum of -105 are -53 and -52.

-52 and -53
26 and 27
-53 and -52.
The numbers are -53 and -52.
53+54 = 107. Far too easy.
-52 + (-53) = -105
The integers are 51, 53 and 55.
