Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = first odd number

x + 2 = second odd number

x + 4 = third odd number

Total = 53

53 = x + (x + 2) + (x + 4)

53 = x + x + 2 + x + 4

53 = 3x + 6

53 - 6 = 3x

47 = 3x

x = 47/3

x = 15.7

x + 2 = second odd number

15.7 + 2 = 17.7

Second number = 17.7
