let the first odd number be x
Next odd number = x+2
3rd odd number = x+4
A/Q, we get:
x+x+2+x+4 = 75
3x+6 =75
3x = 75-6
x = 69÷3
x = 23
So, the three consecutive odd numbers are,
x = 23
x+2 = 25
x+4 = 27
Next odd number = x+2
3rd odd number = x+4
A/Q, we get:
x+x+2+x+4 = 75
3x+6 =75
3x = 75-6
x = 69÷3
x = 23
So, the three consecutive odd numbers are,
x = 23
x+2 = 25
x+4 = 27

Let the three consecutive odd numbers be x + 1, x + 3 and x + 5.
A/q,
x + 1 + x + 3 + x + 5 = 75
=> 3x + 9 = 75
=> 3x = 75 - 9
=> 3x = 66
=> x = 66/3
=> x = 22
•°• Required numbers
x + 1 = 22 + 1 = 23
x + 3 = 22 + 3 = 25
x + 5 = 22 + 5 = 27
