The sum of three consecutive odd numbers is 75. What is the smallest of the three numbers?

23

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the three number be represented by x, y and z. We can rewrite them as follows:

x = x

y = x + 2 (because its two jumps to the next odd number)

z = y +2 = x + 4

x + y + z = 75

∴ x + (x+2) + (x+4) = 75

∴ 3x + 6 = 75

∴ 3x = 69

∴ x = 23

∴ x=23, y=25, x=27.

The smallest number, x, is equal to 23.

the answer is thin because within context, the stanza concludes the and frail tone the people have toward each other, and the fact that it would be thin, makes the most sense compared to "pliable" or "not hard or firm to the touch". hope this , good luck.
