51/3 = 17

17 becomes the middle number now take the odd number below 17 , which is 15 and the odd number above 17, which is 19

those are the 3 odd numbers 15 +17+ 19 = 51

the smallest number is 15

-6h plus 4 - 3plus h equals 11

olga55 [171]

$- 6h + 4 - 3 + h = 11$
So we start by combining like terms;
$- 6h + h = - 5h$
$4 - 3 = 1$
Now we have;
$- 5h + 1 = 11$
We then subtract 1 from both sides;
$- 5h + 1 = 11$
$- 5h = 10$
Then we divide both sides by 5;
$- 5h = 10$
$- 5h \div - 5h = h$
$10 \div - 5h = - 2$
Leaving the final answer to be h = -2
