There are three consecutive odd numbers. If the difference between the product of the last two numbers and the product of the first two numbers is 76, what is the sum of all three consecutive odd numbers?

57

Step-by-step explanation:

Numbers=x,x+2,x+4

(x+4)(x+2)-x(x+2)=76

x^2 + 6 x + 8 - x^2 -2x=76

4x=68

x=17

x+2=19

x+4=21

x+x+2+x+4=17+19+21=57

1: -2 3/4, -2 1/2, -14, 0, 3, 8 1/3

2: -4, -3, -2 1/2, -2 1/4, 3 1/4,
