Rhe sum of three consecutive ofd numbers is 87. What is the smallest of these numbers?

The smallest of the said odd numbers is 27

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is 3 odd numbers that sums up to 87, the first thing to do is to divide 87 by 3

That is 87/3 = 29, which is an odd number

The nearest odd  numbers to 29 are 27 and 31, and the total of all these three odd numbers is 87

That is 27+29+31 = 87, which are consecutive odd numbers.

The smallest odd number here is therefore 27

step-by-step explanation:

from this example, we can see that subtracting with integers is the same as adding the opposite. we can solve using a number line or by using the saying "keep, change, change" to us solve. it is important to remember that we can subtract a negative and end up with a larger number than we started with.
