Hello there

how are you

the Answer you are looking for is

Step-by-step explanation:

Three odd consecutive numbers can be written as x, x+2, and x+4.


Adding these together and setting to the answer we want, we get:

x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 117

Simplifying: 3x+6 = 117

3x = 111

x = 37


Now we find the next two odd numbers by adding 2 and 4 to this number.

37 + 2 = 39

37 + 4 = 41


So your answer is 37, 39 and 41.

hope my answer helped you

and hope my answer fulfiled your desires

Best Regards. Queen Z
