The sum of three consecutive odd positive integers is 39. Find the largest number.
SOLUTIOn
Let consecutive odd positive number be x , (x + 2) and (x + 4)
According to the given condition
→ x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 39
→ x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 39
→ 3x + 6 = 39
→ 3x = 39 - 6
→ 3x = 33
→ x = 33/3 = 11
_____________________
So, x = 11
(x + 2) = 11 + 2 = 13
(x + 4) = 11 + 4 = 15
Hence, the Required number is 15
