Let the first odd number be x
Second number = x + 2
Third odd number = x + 4
According to question
( x + 4 ) + 49 = x + ( x + 2 )
x + 53 = 2x + 2
53 – 2 = 2x – x
51 = x
Ans : First odd number = x = 51
Second odd number = x + 2 = 53
Thrid odd number = x + 4 = 55
Hope the solution is clear to you!!

Step-by-step explanation:
Let the required three consecutive odd numbers be a, a+2,a+4.
according to the problem
(a+4)+49 =a+a+2
=>a+53=2a+2
=>2a-a=53-2
=>a=51
a+2=51+2=53
=>a+4=51+4=55
the required three consecutive odd numbers are 51,53,55
check:
55+49=104
53+51=104
