The sum of three consecutive odd integers is 1,509, what are the integers?

Answer 1

501, 503, 505

Explanation:

Let the integers are `x-2,x,x+2`

According to the given condition,

The sum of three consecutive odd integers is 1,509.

`x-2+x+x+2 = 1509`

`3x=1509`

`x=1509/3`

`x=503`

Numbers are
`x-2 = 503-2 = 501`

`x=503`

`x+2=503+2=505`
