Question

Sum of three consecutive odd number is 147. Find the numbers?​

Answer 1

Given : The sum of three consecutive odd number is 147.

To Find : What are the numbers?

ㅤㅤ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

❍ Let us assume, that the consecutive odd numbers are 'x', 'x + 2' and 'x + 4' respectively.

$\dag$ According to the question,

• The sum of 'x', 'x + 2' and 'x + 4' is 147.

$\tt{ \therefore \: x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 147}$

$\sf{ \Rightarrow \: 3x + 6 = 147}$

$\sf{ \Rightarrow \: 3x = 147 - 6}$

$\sf{ \Rightarrow \: x = \cancel\dfrac{141}{3} }$

$\sf{ \Rightarrow \: x = 47}$

Therefore, the numbers are :

➲ $\red{\bf{x = 47}}$

➲ $\purple{\bf{x + 2 = 49}}$

➲ $\pink{\bf{x + 4 = 51}}$
