Question

the sum of three consecutive odd integer is 45 find the largest​

Answer 1

Let the 3 numbers be x, x + 2,x + 4

The sum of numbers is 45

⇒ x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 45

3x + 6 = 45

3x = 39

x = 13

So the numbers are 13, 15, 19

Answer 2

Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one of the number be 'x'

The other two numbers are (x + 2), (x + 4)     [consecutive odd numbers]

their sum = 45

=> x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 45

=> 3x + 3 = 45

=> 3x = 42

=> x = 42/3

x = 14

the other 2 numbers are x + 2 = 16, x + 4 = 18
