Answer step by step please, and no spam.

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the three consecutive odd numbers be (x + 1), (x + 3), (x + 5)

Then, x + 1 + x + 5 = 26

2x + 6 = 26

2x = 26 - 6

2x = 20

x = 20/2

x = 10

Hence, the first number = (x + 1) = (10 + 1 ) = 11

the second number = ( x + 3 ) = ( 10 + 3 ) = 13

the third number = ( x + 5 ) = ( 10 + 5 ) = 15

Answer 2

Answer:

11,13,15

Step-by-step explanation:

lets take the nums as [1st num]a,

[second num](a+2),

[third num](a+4)

so as to the q,

a + (a+4)=26

a=11

therefore,

[second num] (a+2)=13

[third num] (a+4)=15
