Question

Find the three consecutive odd numbers whose sum is 987.​

Answer 1

To solve for X, you first add the integers together and the X variables together. Then you subtract three from each side, followed by dividing by 3 on each side. Here is the work to show our math:

X + X + 1 + X + 2 = 987

3X + 3 = 987

3X + 3 - 3 = 987 - 3

3X = 984

3X/3 = 984/3

X = 328

Which means that the first number is 328, the second number is 328 + 1 and the third number is 328 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 987 are 328, 329, and 330.

328 + 329 + 330 = 987

We know our answer is correct because 328 + 329 + 330 equals 987 as displayed above.

Answer 2

QUESTION

Find the three consecutive odd numbers whose sum is 987.

ANSWER

Correct option is

Correct option isA

Correct option isA17,19 and 21

Correct option isA17,19 and 21Let the 3 consecutive odd nos be x,x+2,x+4

Correct option isA17,19 and 21Let the 3 consecutive odd nos be x,x+2,x+4x+x+2+x+4=573x=51x=17

Correct option isA17,19 and 21Let the 3 consecutive odd nos be x,x+2,x+4x+x+2+x+4=573x=51x=17 So the nos are 17,19 and 21.
