Answer 2

Answer:

$given$

Let the 1st odd no. be x+1

Let the 2nd consecutive odd no. be x+3

Let the 3rd consecutive odd no. be x+5

$sum \: of \: no.s \: = 57$

$according \: to \: question$

x+1 + x+3 + x+5 = 57

=> 3x+9 = 57.

=> 3x = 57-9

=> x = 48/3.

=> x = 16.

$1st \: no. = 16 + 1 = 17$

$2nd \: no. = 16 + 3 = 19$

$3rd \: no. = 16 + 5 = 21$
