Answer 1

Answer: 79

Explanation:

First, you need to find the middle number. So, you do 243/3 = 81.

81 is the middle number so 81 - 2 = 79 is the smallest of them.

Answer 2

79

Explanation:

Let's call the smallest of these three consecutive odd integers "x". Since they are consecutive odd integers, we know that the next two odd integers are x + 2 and x + 4.

We also know that the sum of these three integers is 243, so we can write an equation:

x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 243

Simplifying this equation, we get:

3x + 6 = 243

Subtracting 6 from both sides, we get:

3x = 237

Dividing both sides by 3, we get:

x = 79

Therefore, the smallest of these three consecutive odd integers is 79.
