What is the sum of three consecutive odd numbers?
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of any set of consecutive odd numbers starting with 1 is always equal to the square of the number of digits that were added together. Sum of first two odd numbers = 1 + 3 = 4 (= 2 x 2). Sum of first three odd numbers = 1 + 3 + 5 = 9 (= 3 x 3). Sum of first four odd numbers = 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 = 16 (= 4 x 4).

Answer:
If u need an algebric equation for the following-
Let the first odd number be x
So if we see the number system we know that odd numbers always come after an even number.
Example- 1(odd), 2(even), 3(odd)...so on
So to get to the next odd number we have to add two to x
So the next odd number is x+2
Similarly the odd number after that is x+4
So sum of three consecutive odd numbers would be= x+(x+2)+(x+4)
Hope this helps u:)
