    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.
