Find three consecutive odd numbers whose sum is 219.

Answer»

Let the odd number be ‘x’.

The next two consecutive numbers are x + 2 and x + 4 

x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 219 

3x + 6 = 219 

3x = 219 – 6 

3x = 213 

x = \(\frac{213}{3}\)

x = 71 

x + 2 = 71 + 2 = 73 

x + 4 = 71 + 4 = 75 

Three consecutive odd numbers are 71, 73, 75
