Question

the sum of three consecutive odd number is 51.find the numbers

Answer 1

Let the first consecutive number be x and second consecutive number be x+2 and the third consecutive number be x+4.

ATQ:-

$= > x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 51$

$= > 3x + 6 = 51$

$= > 3x = 51 - 6$

$= > 3x = 45$

$= > x = 15$

Now, the first no. =x= 15
the second no.=x+2= 17
the third no.=x+4=19
