The sum of three consecutive odd integers is 27. What are the numbers?

Question

anonymous · Answer

Integers = whole numbers 
So, your odds would be 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,19,21,23,25,27

You then want to find three in that order that add up to 27. I'm not sure if there's a quick way to do it, I think trial and error is the best probably.

You're welcome. I was too lazy to pull out a calculator and figure out what happens when you start adding. I'll be honest.
