Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the three odd number be x ,then the next consecutive odd number will be x+2  and x + 4

(Consecutive odd numbers differ by 2)

Then according to the question,

x+ x+2+ x+4 = 56

3x = 56−6 =50

x= $\frac{50}{3}$ = 16.66........

∴ The 3 numbers are -

x+ 2 =  18.66..............

x +4 = 20.66............

The numbers are 16.66........ ,18.66.............. ,20.66............

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sum of 3 consecutive odd number is 56

Let the First number be 'x' and second be 'x+2'

Third number be 'x+4'

Sum = 56

x + x + 2 + x + 4  = 56

3x + 6 = 56

3x = 50

x = 17

First number = x = 17

Second number = x+2 = 19

Third number = x+4 = 21
