    Ans 7, 9, 11

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Think of it as an equation.  You have 3 integers x, y, and z.

    x + 2y = z + 14.  

    Plug in consecutive odd integers, picking your next set of trial and error integers based on how far off the equation is.

    In this case, 7 + (2 * 9) = 11 + 14

    In this example, it took me three attempts to get the correct answer.
