The numbers are 51, 53, 55 and 57.
There are no such answers. The sum of even numbers is even. The sum of odd numbers could be even, but the sum of three consecutive odd numbers is always odd. One could swap the questions to get potentially answerable questions: Sum of 3 consecutive EVEN integers = 150 48 + 50 + 52 = 150 unfortunately, we can already see that if we were to make these odd integers (add 1 to each), we would get 153, not 151. Sum of 3 consecutive ODD integers = 151 49 + 51 + 53 = 153 47 + 49 + 51 = 147 We can see that, whenever we slide our three consecutive integers up one, we raise the value of the sum up 3, and if we jump from odd to odd, or even to even, we raise each integer by 2, so we raise the sum by 6.
19 and 34. Let the two numbers be x and y; then: x - y = 15 x + y = 53 Adding the two equations gives: 2x = 68 → x = 34 Substituting for x in the second gives: 34 + y = 53 → y = 19 Checking by substituting for x and y in the first gives: 34 - 19 = 15 as required.
