Question

THE SUM OF THREE CONSECUTIVE ODD NO. IS 135. FIND THE NO.

Answer 1

let the numbers be x
1st consecutive number = x
2nd consecutive number = x+1
3rd consecutive number = x+2

According to question -----
(x)+(x+1)+(x+2)=135
3x+3=135
3x=135-3
3x=132
x=132/3
x=44

1st consecutive number = x = 44
2nd consecutive number = x+1 = 45
3rd consecutive number = x+2 =46

Answer 2

X+ (X+2) + (X+4) = 135
3x + 6 = 135
3x = 129
X = 129 / 3
= 43.

The no.s are 43, 45 and 47.
