Answer:

The third number in this sequence is 63.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first odd number be <em>x</em>.

Since our sequence are consecutive odd numbers, the second term must be (<em>x</em> + 2) and the third (<em>x</em> + 4). If we only add one, we will get even numbers.

Their sum is 183. Hence:

x+(x+2)+(x+4)=183

Solve for <em>x</em>. Combine like terms:

3x+6=183

Subtract six from both sides:

3x=177

And divide both sides by three. Hence:

x=59

Therefore, our sequence is 59, 61, and 63.

The third number in this sequence is 63.

Note: If we do not get an odd number or if we get a fraction for <em>x</em>, we can conclude that no three consecutive integers sum to 183.

Answer:

61

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 6 = 183

3x = 177

x = 59

(x+2) = (59+2) = 61
