That's good. Just solve for x and make sure your answer is odd. Another addition to this would be to set x = 2n + 1, which forces x to be odd, but you don't actually have to take this step.RTCNTC said:

You switched signs. It's \(\displaystyle (x - 7)(x + 11) = x^2 + (-7 + 11)x - 77 = x^2 + 4x - 77\).RTCNTC said:
Three consecutive odd integers are three numbers that follow each other in sequence and are all odd. For example, 3, 5, and 7 are consecutive odd integers.
To find three consecutive odd integers, you can start with any odd number and add 2 to it twice. For example, if you start with 3, you can add 2 to get 5 and then add 2 again to get 7, making 3, 5, and 7 consecutive odd integers.
The sum of three consecutive odd integers is always a multiple of 3. For example, the sum of 3, 5, and 7 is 15, which is a multiple of 3.
Yes, there can be negative consecutive odd integers. For example, -3, -5, and -7 are consecutive odd integers.
The difference between consecutive odd integers is always 2. This is because each number is 2 more than the previous number. For example, the difference between 3 and 5 is 2, and the difference between 5 and 7 is also 2.
