Let the three odd numbers be x,[x+2], and [x+4] which gives 63 when they are summed.
i.e; x+x+2+x+4=63;
3x+6=63;
3x=63-6;
3x=57;
x=57/3;
x=19.
therefore, x+2 = 19+2; x+2= 21.
x+4 = 19+4; x+4 = 23.
Hence 19, 21 and 23 are the three consecutive odd numbers which give 63 when adding these numbers.

x+4 = 19+4; x+4 = 23.
Hence 19, 21 and 23 are the three consecutive odd numbers which give 63 when adding these numbers.

Here is your solution
Let,
The first odd integer be:x
Then the second odd integer is:-
x+2
Then the third odd integer is:-
x+2+2=x+4
Sum of three consecutive odd numbers =63
A/q
(x)+(x+2)+(x+4)=63
3x+6=63
3x=63-6
3x=57
x=19
now
The first integer is: x = 19
the second integer is: x+2 = 19+2 = 21
the third integer is: x+4 = 19+4 = 23
Hope it helps you
