Question

The sum of 3consecutive odd numbers is 51.
What is the second number in this sequence?

Answer 1

Answer: second number = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

let the 3 numbers(odd) be: (2n-1),(2n+1), and 2n+3

sum of these

(2n-1) + (2n+1) + (2n+3) = 51

6n + 3 = 51

6n = 48

n = 8

thus second nuber in the sequence: 2n+1 = 2(8) + 1 = 17
