Answer 1

Let the three numbers be (x-2),x and (x+2).
The sum of three consecutive odd numbers is 153.

(x-2)+x+(x+2)=153

3x=153

x=51

1st no. = 49
2nd no.=51
3rd no. =53

please mark my answer as brainliest!!

Answer 2

Let the first no. be x
Second no. = x+2
Third no. = x+4



A/q,
        x+ (x+2) + (x+4) = 153
⇒     3x+ 6 = 153
⇒     x        = 147/3
⇒     x        = 49


Therefore, the three numbers are
 x = 49
x+2 = 49+2 = 51
x+4 = 49+4 = 53
