Let the three consecutive odd integers be represented as:

• $x$ (the first integer),
• $x + 2$ (the second integer),
• $x + 4$ (the third integer).

The sum of these integers is given as:

$x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 27$

Now, simplify the equation:

$x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 27$

$3x + 6 = 27$

Subtract 6 from both sides:

$3x = 21$

Now, divide by 3:

$x = 7$

So, the first integer is 7. The other two integers are:

$x + 2 = 7 + 2 = 9$ $x + 4 = 7 + 4 = 11$

Thus, the three consecutive odd integers are 7, 9, and 11.
