If w, x, and y are consecutive odd positive integers and w < x < y, which of the following could be equal to y - w - x ?  Choose the correct option
A) -4  B) -2  C) -1  D) 0  E) -5
Since W, X and Y are CONSECUTIVE ODD POSITIVE INTEGERS and W &lt; X &lt; Y, we can start with the easiest set of values that comes to mind:   W = 7   X = 9   Y = 11   Here, Y - W - X is....   11 - 7 - 9 = -5   -5 IS among the answer choices, so we're done.   -5
