Question

Find the three consecutive odd numbers whose sum is 186

Answer 1

bro please explain this sum

Answer 2

Let the first odd number be x

Consecutive odd numbers = x, x+ 2, x+ 4


According to Question,

x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 186

3x + 6 = 186

3x = 180

x = 60

But, as x = 60 and not an odd number,
therefore, there are no such 3 consecutive odd numbers whose sum comes out to be 186.

x = no value

(Sum of 3 odd numbers can't be an even number)
