#=>7,9,11#

Let the smallest consecutive odd number be #n#. Then the next two consecutive odd integers are #n+2# and #n+4#.

"Sum of the largest and twice the smallest is #25#"

#(n+4) + 2(n) = 25#

#n+4+2n = 25#

#3n+4=25#

#3n = 21#

#=>n = 7#

So the three numbers (#n#, #n+2#, #n+4#) are: #7, 9, 11#
