Answer: The numbers are 1111, 1113 and 1115
==========================================================
Step-by-step explanation:
- x = first odd number, aka smallest value
- x+2 = second odd number, immediately after x
- x+4 = third odd number, immediately after x+2, which is the largest value.
The gap between any consecutive or adjacent odd numbers is 2 units, which is why the +2 and +4 are involved.
Adding those three said consecutive odd numbers will yield 3339
first+second+third = 3339
(x) + (x+2) + (x+4) = 3339
3x+6 = 3339
3x = 3339-6
3x = 3333
x = 3333/3
x = 1111
The first number, and smallest number, is 1111
Use this to find the others.
x+2 = 1111+2 = 1113
x+4 = 1111+4 = 1115
The three numbers are: 1111, 1113, 1115
Note that 1111+1113+1115 = 3339 which verifies the answers.
