Question

What three consecutive odd numbers have a sum of 45?
WILL FAN AND MEDAL!

Answer 1

I got the numbers 13, 15, and 17. :)

There's probably a more complicated way to solve this out, but... here's what I did.
45 divided by 3
That's 15.
15 + 15 + 15 = 45
To make them consecutive, subtract 2 from one of the 15s and add it to another.
(15 - 2) + 15 + (15 + 2)
13 + 15 + 17 = 45 :)

Answer 2

Oh wow thx ^-^

Answer 3

You're very welcome. :)

Answer 4

let the numbers be n+1,n+3,n+5
n+1+n+3+n+5=45
3n+9=45
3n=45-9=36
n=36/3=12
so numbers are 12+1,12+3,12+5
or 13,15,17
