Answer 1

here is your answer

Answer 2

Let the three consecutive odd numbers be x, x + 2 and x + 4

Given, their sum is 159


According to the given condition,

x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 159

➾ 3x + 6 = 159

➾ 3x = 159 - 6

➾ 3x = 153

➾ x = 51


∴ 1st odd number ➾ x

➾ $\green{\boxed{\green{\boxed{\red{\textsf{51}}}}}}$


∴ 2nd odd number ➾ x + 2

➾ 51 + 2

➾ $\green{\boxed{\green{\boxed{\red{\textsf{53}}}}}}$


∴ 3rd odd number ➾ x + 4

➾ 51 + 4

➾ $\green{\boxed{\green{\boxed{\red{\textsf{55}}}}}}$
