Question

Find the sum of the three consecutive odd numbers whose sum is 165.

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the three consecutive odd numbers be

x , x + 2 , x + 4

According to the question :

x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 165

3x + 6 = 165

3x = 159

x = 53

x + 2 = 53 + 2 = 55

x + 4 = 53 + 4 = 57

So the three consecutive odd numbers are 53 , 55 and 57 whose sum is 165.
