Question

The sum of three odd consecutive odd numbers is 39 Find the numbers.​

Answer 1

Given:

Let the three odd consecutive numbers be x, x+2 and x+4.

Sum of these numbers is 39.

To find:

The three consecutive odd numbers.

Solution:

x + (x+2) + (x+4) = 39

x+x+2+x+4 = 39

3x+6 = 39

3x = 39-6

3x = 33

x = 33/3

x = 11

x+2 = 11+2 = 13

x+4 = 11+4 = 15

Therefore the three consecutive odd numbers are 11, 13 and 15.
