Answer:
23 is the prime number
Step-by-step explanation:
let n, n + 2, n + 4 be the consecutive odd numbers, then
n + n + 2 + n + 4 = 69 ← simplify left side
3n + 6 = 69 ( subtract 6 from both sides )
3n = 63 ( divide both sides by 3 )
n = 21 , then
n + 2 = 21 + 2 = 23 and n + 4 = 21 + 4 = 25
The 3 numbers are 21, 23, 25 with prime number 23
Answer:
[tex]let \: the \: first \: number \: be \: x \\ x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 69 \\ 3x + 6 = 69 \\ 3x = 63\\ x = 21 \\ first = 21 \\ second = 21 + 2 =23 \\ third = 21+ 4 = 25\\ prime \: number \: is \: 23 \\ { \boxed{prime = 23}}[/tex]
