Answer:

29,31,33,35,37,39

Explanation:

"X" will be the average of the 6 numbers, this will be an even number, the 6 odd numbers are:

x-5, x-3, x-1, x+1, x+3, x+5

NEXT:

204=(x-5) + (x-3) + (×-1) + ( x+1) + (×+3) + (x+5)=6x

divide both ends by 6 to find:

X=204÷6 =34

▪︎ This means the 6 odd numbers are:

29, 31, 33, 35, 37, 39
