Let the odd numbers be 'x' , 'x+2' , 'x+4'

According to question,

x+x+2+x+4= 54

Or 3x+6=54

Or. 3x= 54-6

Or. x= 48/3

Or. x= 16

Therefore, the required numbers are.

x= 16

x+2 = 18

x+4 = 20.

Answer 2

Let the first integer and the smallest integer be x-2

Then, The second integer be x.

Then, the third integer be x+2.

Now, The sum of the integer is 54.

$x - 2 + x + x + 2 = 54 \\ = > 3x = 54 \\ = > \: x \: = \frac{54}{3} \\ = > x = 19$

Now, the first integer is x-2 = 19-2 =17

The second integer is x = 19

The third integer is x+2 =19+2 = 21
