Answer:
49, 51, 53
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the first odd integer be n.
Then the consecutive odd integer will be (n+2).
This will be followed by (n+4).
We know that the sum of these three is 153. In other words:
[tex]n+(n+2)+(n+4)=153[/tex]
Solve for n. Combine like terms:
[tex]3n+6=153[/tex]
Subtract 6 from both sides:
[tex]3n=147[/tex]
Divide both sides by 3:
[tex]n=49[/tex]
Therefore, our first odd number is 49.
So, our consecutive numbers must be 51 and 53.
Hence, our sequence is:
49, 51, 53
Notes:
If we get an even number for n or a non-integer value, then there are no three consecutive odd integers that sum to 153.
