Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:

Let

n

be the middle integer.

Then the three consecutive odd integers are

n

−

2

,

n

,

n

+

2

and we have:

123

=

(

n

−

2

)

+

n

+

(

n

+

2

)

=

3

n

Dividing both ends by

3

and transposing, we find:

n

=

41

So the three integers are:

39

,

41

,

43

Answer 2

we say the 1st number is x, second number is x +2 and third number is x + 4.

1.

x + x +2 + x +4 = 123

2.

3x = 123 – 6 = 117

3.

x = 117/3 = 39

So, The numbers are 39,41,43
