Answer:

39

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the three consecutive odd numbers be:

x+2, x+4, x+6.

The sum of the consecutive numbers is 123 i.e

x+2 + (x+4) + (x+6) = 123

x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6 = 123

3x + 12 = 123

Collect like terms

3x = 123 — 12

3x = 111

Divide both side by the coefficient of x i.e 3

x = 111/3

x = 37

Now let us find the value of the three odd numbers. This is illustrated:

1st : x + 2 = 37 + 2 = 39

2nd : x + 4 = 37 + 4 = 41

3rd : x + 6 = 37 + 6 = 43

The smallest of the three consecutive odd numbers is 39

Can you please help me? Thanks!!!!

The answer is 25 degrees.

This is how you solve the equation, first you must know that the straight like ABC=180, DBC is 130, so the remaining amount is 50 degrees, BE is a bisector of ABD which means it splits ABD right down the middle. So ABE+EBD=50 degrees, 25+25=50 since both sides MUST be equal in order for BE to be a bisector of ABD.
