Question

Find three consecutive odd number whose sum equal 741.

Answer 1

Let the first odd no- x

Then, the second odd no- (x+2)

Then, the third odd no- x+4

=(x)+(x+2)+(x+4)= 741

=3x+6= 741

=3x= 741-6= 735

=x= 735/3= 245

So, the three numbers are-

1. x= 245

2. (x+2)=  245+2= 257

2. (x+4)=  245+4= 259

Hope this helps!
