I don't believe this is possible. The formula for an odd number is (2n+1) where n is any integer. So, for seven odd numbers added together... {a,b,c,d,e,f,g are the integers)
(2a +1) + (2b +1) + ... + (2g+1) = 2(a+b+c+d+e+f+g) + 7 = 2(h) + 7 h is an integer
2h + 7 must be an odd number, thus it can't equal 40

FranIt is mathematically impossible for 7 odd numbers to sum up to 40. This is because the sum of any odd number of odd numbers will always result in an odd number, due to the nature of odd numbers. Therefore, the statement "7 odd numbers equal 40" is incorrect and cannot be true in a mathematical context.
Well, isn't that a happy little mystery we have here! Let's take a moment to appreciate the uniqueness of odd numbers - they always have a special charm. To solve this puzzle, remember that odd numbers are always separated by 2. So, if you start with the first odd number and keep adding 2, you'll soon find the answer to this delightful riddle.

How do you add 7 odd numbers which equals 50?
It is not possible. The sum of 7 odd numbers must be odd while 50 is not odd.
1.3.5.7.9.11.13.15 how are the five numbers when you are added and the answer is equal to 30?
I was able to get the number 30 by adding 4 odd numbers 3 + 7 + 5 + 15 = 30 But i can't add 5 odd numbers to get 30
