You start off with the equation n+n+2+n+4=759
Then simplify that to get 3n+6=759
Next you find n which equals 251
Then you skip count to find the next two numbers.
So the three consecutive odd numbers are 251, 253, and 255

Sorry if I'm not very good at explaining it. I did the best that I can. I hope this helps (:
