Question

The sum of three consecutive odd numbers is 63. Find them. (Hint:-Let 2x+1 be the first odd numbers) ​

Answer 1

Let the three consecutive odd numbers be (2x+1),(2x+3) and (2x+5).

According to the given condition,

we have

(2x+1)+(2x+3)+(2x+5) = 63

6x+9=63

6x=54 ...[By transposing 9 to RHS]

x=9

So,

three consecutive odd numbers are (2×9+1),(2×9+3) and (2×9+5) i.e., 19,21 and 23.
