You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let's say the first odd number is x
So the next odd number after it is x+2
And the next one after that is x + 2 + 2
Add them up : x + x + 2 + x + 2 + 2 = 39
Simplify it a bit : 3x + 6 = 39
So : 3x = 33 which means x is 11.
So the three consecutive numbers are 11, 13 and 15.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Three consecutive odd numbers would be , ,
All you do is skip the numbers in
between, which are even and don't count
The problem wants to know what consecutive
odd numbers add up to
Call the smallest odd number
The next higher odd number would then
be , and the highest consecutive
odd number would be
Now add them up
The consecutive odd numbers that add up to 39
are 11, 13, and 15
