Explanation:

let the 3 consecutive odd number be

x + 1 , x + 3 , x + 5

as, there sum is 45. so, after inserting the values we got,

x + x + 1 + x + 3 = 45

3x + 9 = 45

3x = 45 - 9 = 36

x = 36/3 = 12

x = 12

therefore, 3 consecutive odd number are

x + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13

x + 3 = 12 + 3 = 15

x + 5 = 12 + 5 = 17

hope this answer helps you dear...take care and may u have a great day ahead!
