Three times the smallest of three consecutive odd numbers decreased by 7 equals twice the largest one. Find the numbers...

αnѕwєr:

Consicutive odd (smallest) numbers be x, x+2,x+4

3x-7 be the three times of smallest numbers decreased by 7

2(x+4) be the twice the largest number

From the above we get;
3x-7 = 2(x+4)

Therfore we get;

3x-7 = 2x+8

3x-2x = 8+7

x= 15

Therefore x = 15

x=15,x+2= 15+2=17,x+4=15+4=19

Therefore the three consicutive odd numbers are 15,17 and 19
