Question

Find three consecutive odd number whose sum is 759

Answer 1

Let 1 consecutive odd number be 'x'
      2 consecutive odd number be'x+2'
      3 consecutive odd number be'x+4'
Sum of consecutive numbers= 759
  i.e x+x+2+x+4=759
       3x+6= 759
        3x=759-6
         3x=753
           x=753/3=251 
therefore x=251
 1 consecutive odd number=x=251
2 consecutive odd number= x+2= 251+2= 253
3 consecutive odd number=x+4=251+4=255
 
Therefore the 3 consecutive odd numbers are 251,253,255
