Question

Find the three consecutive odd numbers whose sum is 165

Answer 1

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.

Hope it helps you :-)

Have a good day.

To Solve:

• Find the three consecutive odd numbers whose sum is 165

Given:

• 165 = sum of 3 consecutive odd numbers.

Solⁿ:

• The odd are placed leaving 1 even number bw them. like 3,4,5...
• Then numbers will be: x, x+2, x+4
• Sum is 165

ATQ;

x + x+2 + x+4 = 165

3x + 6 = 165

3x = 165 - 6

3x = 159

x = 159/3

x = 53

Other Numbers ;

x+2 = 53 + 2

= 55

x+4 = 53 + 4

= 57

Numbers are: 53, 55, 57
