Question

the sum of 3 consecutive odd numbers is 231. Find the numbers​

Answer 1

Answer:

The consecutive 3 odd numbers are

75, 77, 79

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

The consecutive 3 odd numbers :

• x
• x + 2
• x + 4

★ According to the question :

The sum of 3 consecutive odd numbers is 231

So,

⇒ (x) + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 231

⇒ 3x + 6 = 231

⇒ 3x = 231 - 6

⇒ 3x = 225

⇒ x = 225 / 3

⇒ x = 75

★ x + 2 :

⇒ 75 +2

⇒ 77

★ x + 4 :

⇒ 75 + 4

⇒ 79

Therefore,

The consecutive 3 odd numbers are

75, 77, 79

Answer 2

Given :

• The sum of 3 consecutive odd numbers is 231

To find :

• The numbers

According to the question,

Let the consecutive odd numbers be

• x
• x + 2
• x + 4

And their sum is 231

So,

The equation formed :

→ x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 231

→ 3x + 6 = 231

→ 3x = 231 - 6

→ 3x = 225

→ x = 225 ÷ 3

.°. x = 75

_____________...

Value of x :

→ x

→ 75

_____________....

Value of x + 2 :

→ x + 2

→ 75 + 2

→ 77

_____________....

Value of x + 4

→ x + 4

→ 75 + 4

→ 79

So,the numbers are 75,77 and 79...
