Question

.
The sum of three consecutive odd numbers is 177. Find them.
[ Hint : let the numbers be (2x – 1), (2x + 1), (2x + 3) ]​

Answer 1

Answer:

57,59,61

Step-by-step explanation:

(2x – 1)+ (2x + 1)+(2x + 3)=177

6x+3=177

6x=174

X=29

therefore 3 no.'s are: 57,59,61

Answer 2

Answer:

57, 59, 61.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, the odd numbers are 2x-1, 2x+1, 2x+3. Also, their sum is 177.

So,     (2x-1)+(2x+1)+(2x+3) = 177.

      2x - 1 + 2x + 1 +2x + 3 = 177

                               6x + 3 = 177

                                     6x = 174

                                       x = 29.

Hence, (2x-1) = 2(29) -1 = 58 - 1 = 57

            (2x+1) = 2(29)+1 = 58 + 1= 59

            (2x+3)= 2(29)+3 = 58 +3 = 61.

So, th numbers are 57, 59, and 61
