Question

8. Find three consecutive odd integers whose sum is 105​

Answer 1

the answer is 33,35,37

Step-by-step explanation:

let the unknown odd numbers be n-2 , n , n + 2

note ; n-2 , n , n + 2 are expressed like this because they are consecutive and they are odd numbers which means they must differ by 2.

Therefore, the sum of the three consecutive odd integers whose sum is 105 will be expressed as

n-2 + n + n+2 = 105

3n = 105

divide by 3

n = 35

since we know one of the number den we find the other 2

from, n-2, n, n+ 2

35 - 2 , 35 , 35 + 2

33, 35, 37
