Question

The sum of three consecutive odd numbers is 67.Find the numbers.

Answer 1

Answer:

let the no. be x

then x+ x+2+x+4=67

after solving,

3x +6=67

=3x=67-6=61

=x=61/3=2.33

so, replacing x we get

2.3,4.3,6.3

Answer 2

☯ Correct QuestioN :

The sum of three consecutive odd numbers is 69.Find the numbers.

$\rule{200}{2}$

☯ GiveN :

• Sum of three consecutives number are 69.

☯ To FinD :

We have to find the three consecutives numbers whose sum is 69.

$\rule{200}{1}$

☯ SolutioN :

Let the first number be x.

So, second number = x + 2

Third number = x + 4

Now, A.T.Q

$\sf{\dashrightarrow x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 69} \\ \\ \sf{\dashrightarrow 3x + 6 = 69} \\ \\ \sf{\dashrightarrow 3x = 69 - 6} \\ \\ \sf{\dashrightarrow 3x = 63} \\ \\ \sf{\dashrightarrow x = \frac{\cancel{63}}{\cancel{3}}} \\ \\ \sf{\dashrightarrow x = 21} \\ \\ \Large{\implies{\boxed{\boxed{\sf{x = 21}}}}}$

First number = x = 21

Second number = (x + 2) = (21 + 2) = 23

Third number = (x + 4) = (21 + 4) = 25
