Question

The sum of three consecutive odd numbers is 75. Find the smallest number.
The smallest number =​

Answer 1

Answer:

this means lets take the smallest no x

and the 3 no -

x

x+1

x+2

so, 3x+3=75

3x=75-3

3x=72

×=72/3

x=24

so value of x is 24

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

=> LET THE FIRST CONSECUTIVE ODD NUMBER IS n.

=> LET THE SECOND CONSECUTIVE ODD NUMBER IS n+2.

=> LET THE THIRD CONSECUTIVE ODD NUMBER IS n+4.

=> SUM OF THREE CONSECUTIVE ODD NUMBER IS 75.

=> n+n+2+n+4=75.

=> 3n+6=75.

=> 3(n+2)=75.

=> n+2=75÷3.

=> n+2=25.

=> n=25-2.

=> n=23.

THEREFORE,

n=23

n+2=25

n+4=29.

THEREFORE,

THE THREE CONSECUTIVE ODD NUMBERS ARE 23,25,29.

THE SMALLEST ODD NUMBER IS 23.
