Question 926259: three more than the square root of THE SUM OF 3 consective odd numbers is 12. find the three numbers?

First odd number = x
Second odd number = x+2
Third odd number = x+4



Square both sides.  When you square a square root
you take away the square root radical:







Add -5 to both sides





First odd number = x = 46
Second odd number = x+2 = 46+2 = 48
Third odd number = x+4 = 46+4 = 50
