Question

The sum of three consecutive odd numbers is 987. Find the numbers.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let first odd number = a, second odd number = a +2, third odd number = a + 4

a + a + 2 + a + 4 = 987

3a + 6 = 987

3a = 981

a = 327

First odd number = a = 327

Second odd number = a + 2 = 329

Third odd number = a + 4 = 331
