Let one number be x.
Then, the other number will be x+2.
The third number = x+2+2=x+4
It is given that their sum is 21.
So, x+(x+2)+(x+4)=21
3x+6=21
3x=15
x=5
and x+2=7
x+4=9.
therefore numbers are 5,7 and 9

Answer:
5,7 and 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the three consecutive odd number be x,x + 2,x + 4.
Given that the sum of 3 consecutive odd numbers is 21.
x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 21
3x + 6 = 21
3x = 21 - 6
3x = 15
x = 15/3
x = 5.
x + 2 = 5 + 2
= 7
x + 4 = 5 + 4
= 9
