Hello, jconnors!
You're still misreding the problem . . .
\(\displaystyle \text{Let: }\;\begin{Bmatrix}x &=& \text{1st odd integer} \\ x+2 &=& \text{2nd odd integer} \\ x+4 &=& \text{3rd odd integer} \end{Bmatrix}\)
\(\displaystyle \text{The equation is: }\;\underbrace{x + (x+2) + (x+4)}_{\text{Their sum}} \;\underbrace{=}_{\text{is}}\;\underbrace{86\;\;+}_{\text{86 more than}}\; \underbrace{(x+2)}_{\text{2nd integer}}\)
You're still misreding the problem . . .
Find three consecutive odd integers whose sum is 86 more than the second integer.
\(\displaystyle \text{Let: }\;\begin{Bmatrix}x &=& \text{1st odd integer} \\ x+2 &=& \text{2nd odd integer} \\ x+4 &=& \text{3rd odd integer} \end{Bmatrix}\)
\(\displaystyle \text{The equation is: }\;\underbrace{x + (x+2) + (x+4)}_{\text{Their sum}} \;\underbrace{=}_{\text{is}}\;\underbrace{86\;\;+}_{\text{86 more than}}\; \underbrace{(x+2)}_{\text{2nd integer}}\)
