Given that sum of three consecutive odd numbers sum is 27
let us suppose consider an odd number as x
then its next consecutive odd number becomes x+2
the other consecutive odd number is x+4
we can write it as x+(x+2)+(x+4)=27
3x+6=27
subtract 6 from both sides
3x+6-6=27-6
3x=21
x=21/3
x=7
Now x+2=7+2=9
Now x+2=7+4=11
Therefore the numbers are 7,9,11.
