Question

Three consecutive odd numbers have a sum of 51. Find all three numbers.

Answer 1

15,17,and 19 goodbye

Answer 2

15, 17, 19

Explanation:

if the first odd number is x, then

the 2nd odd number is x + 2

the 3rd odd number is (x + 2) + 2

so x + (x + 2) + (x + 2 + 2) = 51

x + x + 2 + x + 2 + 2 = 51

3x + 6 = 51

3x = 51 - 6

3x = 45

x = 15

so the numbers are 15, 17, 19
