Question

The sum of three consecutive odd numbers is 81. Find the numbers.

Answer 1

Answer:three consecutive odd numbers are 25; 27; 29

suppose: the smallest number is x ( x > 0),(x ∈ N)

because 3 numbers are three consecutive odd numbers

=> The next 2 terms respectively are x + 2; x + 4

have: The sum of three consecutive odd numbers is 81

=> x + x + 2 + x+ 4 = 81

⇔ 3x + 6 = 81

⇔ 3x = 81 - 6

⇔ 3x = 75

⇔ x = 25

=> three consecutive odd numbers are 25; 27; 29

Explanation:

Answer 2

The 3 odd, consecutive numbers are 25, 27, and 29.

Explanation:

When you add these 3 numbers you will get 81.

25 + 27 = 52

52 + 29 = 81

Therefore, 25 + 27 + 29 = 81
