Step-by-step explanation:
The numbers are are y,y+1 and y+4 as they are consecutive odd numbers
it is given that their sum is 51
therefore,
y+y+1+y+4=51
3y+6=51
y=(51-6)/3=45/3 =15
hence the numbers are:
y=15
y+2=17
y+4=19
the numbers are 15,17,19

Let the required numbers be x, x + 2 and x + 4.
Then, their sum = (x + x + 2 + x + 4) = 3x + 6.
3x + 6 = 51 → 3x = 51 - 6
→ 3x = 45 → x 45/3 = 15.
Hence, the required numbers are 15, 17 and 19.
