$\huge\fbox\pink{Question}$

The sum of three consecutive odd numbers is 57. find the numbers

$\small\orange{Given:}$

➩The sum of 3 consecutive odd number = 57

$\small\blue{To find:}$

➩The three consecutive odd numbers

$\small\red{Solution:}$

First, we can call the smallest of the odd integers x

Then, we find the next odd integer

So the middle of our consecutive odd integers can be expressed as$x + 2$

We can apply the same method for the last odd integer, it is 4 more than the first odd integer, so it can be seen as $x + 4$

We are finding the sum to be 57, so we create the equation

$x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 57$

Combine like terms: $3x + 6 = 57$

Subtract: $3x = 51$

Divide: $x = 17$

So, our integers are 17, 19, 21

Answer 2

Given →

The sum of three consecutive odd numbers is 57. find the numbers.

To find →

The numbers.

Solution :

Let,

the value of the three consecutive no's be

x, x + 2 , x+4

A/c ,

• The sum of the three consecutive no's are 57

i.e.,

→ x + x+ 2 + x + 4 = 57

→ 3x + 6 = 57

→ 3x = 57 - 6

→ 3x = 51

→ x = 17

Now, put the value of x= 17 in other two no's

x = 17

x + 2 = 19

x + 4 = 21

The three consecutive no's are 17 , 19 and 21
