Question

Find three consecutive odd numbers whose sum is 1875.

smaller number =
middle number =
larger number =

Answer 1

smaller number = 623

middle number = 625

larger number = 627

Explanation:

Variable: X = smallest number

If these numbers are consecutive and odd, then the numbers would be:

x, x+2, x+4

x + (x + 2) + (x + 4)= 1875

3x + 6 = 1875

3x = 1869

x = 623

x + 2 = 625

x + 4 = 627

Check:

623 + 625 + 627 = 1875
