Question

The sum of three consecutive odd number is 165 .find the sum of largest odd number and twice of smallest odd number

Answer 1

X + (X+2)+(X+4) = 165

3x + 6 = 165

3x = 159

x = 53

53, 55 and 57

Answer 2

The sum of three consecutive odd numbers is 165.

Let the three numbers be,

(x-2), x and (x+2)

on adding the numbers , we get

3x=165

Therefore, x= 55

x-2=53,

x+2=57

Sum of the largest odd number and twice of smallest odd number among these three integers is,

57+2(53)

57 + 106

=163
