Question

The smallest of three consecutive odd is numbers is n. If their sum is 27,find the three numbers

Answer 1

Answer:

Therefore the sum of three odd numbers is always an odd number. Hence Proved. Let the number is 15,13 and 3 then 15=2*7+1 13=2*6+1 3=2*1+1 where 1,6 and 7 now 15+13+3=2*7+1+2*6+1+281+11 =2(7+6+1)+3 =2*14+3(24 is our 'm') and 2*14≠30. OR 15+13+3≠30

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is that you cannot get 30 by adding any three odd numbers because addition of 3 odd numbers always give another odd number and hence 30 which is an even number cannot be achieved. 2n-1 where n is a natural number.
