Question

The sum of three consecutive odd number is 177 find the number

Answer 1

Answer:

59.

Step-by-step explanation:

As they mentioned in the question, sum of three consecutive odd numbers is 177.

So, assume the numbers as n-2,n,n+2.

Because these are having a common difference 2. So, we might have a doubt that these three numbers may be even or odd. For time being suppose them as odd.

So, sum is

n-2 + n + n+2= 177

therefore, 3n=177

n=59.  

So, the three numbers are

n-2 = 59-2=57.

n = 59.

n+2 = 59+2 = 61.

So the three consecutive numbers whose sum is 177 is 57,59 and 61.

Answer 2

Answer:

let the three consecutive numbers be x, x+2 x+4

x+x+2+x+4 = 177

3x+6 = 177

3x = 177-6 =171

x = 171÷3

x = 57

x = 57

x+2 = 59

x + 4 = 61

I hope this helps ☺️
