Question

What are 3 consecutive odd numbers whose sum is 81?

Answer 1

`25,27,29`

Explanation:

If the first number is `x`, then the second number is `x+2` and the third number is `x+4`. An example is `3,5,7`

`x +(x+2) + (x+4) = 81`

`3x+6 = 81`

`x = (81-6)/3 =75/3 = 25`

Therefore the numbers are `25,27,29`
