Answer :
Let one number be x.
Then, the other number will be x+2.
The third number = x+2+2 = x +4
It is given that their sum is 21.
So,
x + (x+2) + (x+4) = 21
= 3x + 6 = 21
= 3x = 15
x = 5
and x+2 = 7
x+4 = 9.
Hence, the three consecutive odd numbers whose sum is 21 are 5, 7 and 9.

Answer:
The numbers are 5 , 7 and 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the consecutive numbers be a - d, a and a + d
The numbers are odd so the difference (d) is 2
According to the given condition
a - d + a + a + d = 21
3a = 21
a = 7
So the terms are
a - d i.e. 7 - 2 = 5
a i.e. = 7
and a + d i.e. 7 + 2 = 9
The numbers are 5, 7 ,9
