Question #6a05b

Answer 1

41

Explanation:

We let the first odd number be `a`
That means that the next two odd numbers are `a+2` and `a+4`, as odd numbers spaced out by 2.

From the given information this means that:
`a+a+2+a+4 = 129`
`3a+6=129`
`3a=123`
`a=41`

But we know that `a` is the smallest of the three numbers, therefore the smallest of the three numbers is 41, followed by 43 and 45.

We can check this because `41+43+45=129`
