Question

find three consecutive odd integers that their sum decrease by the second number, equals 50.

Answer 1

23 25 27
because if you add 23+25+27= 75, then you take out 25 (which is the second consecutive number) from the sum of three consecutive number.(75-25) equals 50.

Answer 2

You have the answer. Did you guess it, or calculate it?

You know that even numbers are multiples of 2 (2k), so odd numbers are of the form 2k+1. So, you want

2k+1 + 2k+3 + 2k+5 - (2k+3) = 50
4k+6 = 50
4k = 44
k = 11

So, the numbers are 23,25,27
