Let the smallest number be x.
x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 21
3x + 6 = 21
3x = 15
x = 5
x + 2 = 7
x + 4 = 9
Therefore the numbers are 5, 7 and 9.
x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 21
3x + 6 = 21
3x = 15
x = 5
x + 2 = 7
x + 4 = 9
Therefore the numbers are 5, 7 and 9.

HELLO MY DEAR FRIEND
(CONSECUTIVE MEANS ORDER WISE)
LETS TAKE 3 CONSECUTIVE ODD NUMBERS BE = x,x+2 and x+4
= x+x+2+x+4 = 21
= 3x = 6 = 21
= 3x = 21-6
= 3x = 15
x = 15/3
= x = 5.
THEREFORE,
x =5
x+2 = 5+2 = 7
x +4 = 5+4 = 9.
THE 3 CONSECUTIVE ODD NUMBERS ARE 5,7, AND 9.
I HOPE THIS WILL HELP'S U............*-*
