Three consecutive odd numbers have a sum of 255. What is the value of the largest number?

Sagot :

Answer:

86

Explanation:

Let the three consecutive numbers be x-1, x and x+1

If their sum is 255, then;

x-1 + x + x+1 = 255

x+x+x = 255

3x = 255

x = 255/3

x = 85

The largest out of the numbers is x + 1

Largest number = x + 1

Largest number = 85 + 1

Largest number = 86

hence the value of the largest number is 86
