Question

Set up an equation for the following sum of three consecutive odd numbers is 57

Answer 1

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

Now the equation of three consecutive odd numbers is as follows:

x+(x+2)+(x+4) = 57

x+x+x+2+4=57

3x+6=57

3x=57-6

3x=51

x=51/3

x=17

Therefore value of x is 17

So the three consecutive odd numbers are 17, 19, 21...
