Answer» The question is incorrect, for the sum of three odd numbers can never be equal to an even number. But there is no mention if you can use sign within the braces or not. So.. (11–1)+(13–3)+(15–5) =10+10+10 =30. 15 11 9 okkkkkkkkkkkkk

Answer»

The question is incorrect, for the sum of three odd numbers can never be equal to an even number.

But there is no mention if you can use sign within the braces or not. So..

(11–1)+(13–3)+(15–5)

=10+10+10

=30.

15 11 9 okkkkkkkkkkkkk
