Answer 2

Question :

What are the three consecutive odd numbers whose sum is 159 .

Answer :

The three consecutive odd numbers are

$\sf\pink {Given :}$

• sum of three consecutive numbers is 159 .

$\sf\pink {To\:find :}$

• The three numbers .

Explanation :

• let first number be "x"

the next number after x will be x + 1 which is even so the next odd number will be x + 2 and the third odd number will be x + 4 .

• second number is x + 2

• third number is x + 4

By the given condition ,

first number + second number + third number = 159 .

$\\ \longrightarrow\sf { x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 159}$

$\\ \longrightarrow\sf { 3x + 6 = 159}$

$\\ \longrightarrow\sf { 3x = 159 - 6}$

$\\ \longrightarrow\sf {3x = 153}$

$\\ \longrightarrow\sf { x = \dfrac {153}{3}}$

$\\ \longrightarrow\sf { x = 51}$

• First number = x

$\\ \longrightarrow\sf { x = 51}$

Therefore first number is 51 .

• second number = x + 2

$\\ \longrightarrow\sf { 51 + 2}$

$\\ \longrightarrow\sf { 53}$

Therefore second number is 53

• third number = x + 4

$\\ \longrightarrow\sf { 51 + 4}$

$\\ \longrightarrow\sf { 55}$

Therefore third number is 55

Verification :

first number + second number + third number = 159 .

$\\ \longrightarrow\sf { 51 + 53 + 55 = 159}$

$\\ \longrightarrow\sf { 104 + 55 = 159}$

$\\ \longrightarrow\sf { 159 = 159}$

$\\ \longrightarrow\sf {LHS = RHS}$

hence verified.
