Question

Could you solve it What is _____+______+______=30 Using 1,3,5,7,9,11,13 ,15 what are the numbers ​

Answer 1

Answer:

We want to solve:

___ + ___ + ____ = 30

using the numbers:

1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15.

Now, 30 is an even number.

And the given numbers are all odd.

A random even number is written as:

2*n  (where n is an integer)

A random odd number is written as:

2*k + 1 (where k is an integer)

If we add 3 odd numbers, we get:

(2*k + 1) + (2*c + 1) + (2*j + 1) = 2*(k + c + j) + 3

= 2*(k + c + j + 1) + 1

(k + c + j + 1) is an integer, then we can write this as p

then the sum of 3 odd numbers can be written as:

2*p + 1

This means that the sum of 3 odd numers is always an odd number.

Then we can not find 3 odd numbers such that their sum is equal to 30.

if instead, we could use 4 numbers, like:

___ + ___ + ___ + ___ = 30

Then we could select:

15, 1, 5 and 9.

because:

15 + 1 + 5 + 9 = 15 + (1 + 5) + 9 = 15 + 6 + 9 = 15 + (6 + 9) = 15 + 15  = 30
