The smallest of three consecutive odd is numbers is n. If their sum is 27, find the three numbers

Therefore the sum of three odd numbers is always an odd number. Hence Proved. Let the number is 15,13 and 3 then 15=2*7+1 13=2*6+1 3=2*1+1 where 1,6 and 7 now 15+13+3=2*7+1+2*6+1+281+11 = 2 (7+6+1) + 3 = 2*14+3 (24 is our 'm') and 2*14≠30. OR 15+13+3≠30

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is that you cannot get 30 by adding any three odd numbers because addition of 3 odd numbers always give another odd number and hence 30 which is an even number cannot be achieved. 2n-1 where n is a natural number.
