Answer:
Explanation:
You do not need to define a sequence that guarantees you are looking at odd numbers.
However, you must guarantees they are all of same type. That is all odd or all even.
You do this as follows
Let the first number be
n
Then the next number of same type (odd or even) is
n
+
2
The number after that is
n
+
4
So we have:
n
+
(
n
+
2
)
+
(
n
+
4
)
=
45
3
n
+
6
=
45
3
n
=
39
n
=
39
3
=
13
So the greatest number is
n
+
4
=
13
+
4
=
17
