Question

the sum of 3 consecutive ODD numbers is 51. what is the answer olease

Answer 1

let x, x+2, x +4 are the 3 consecutive ODD numbers
so
x + x +2 +x +4 = 51
3x + 6 = 51
3x =51-6
3x = 45
 x = 45/3
 x = 15
 x + 2 = 15 + 2 = 17
 x + 4 = 15 + 4 = 19

proof
15 + 17 + 19 =51

Answer: 3 consecutive ODD numbers are 15,17,19
