Solution

Let the first number be x

Then, the next odd number would be x+2

The last would be x+4

Then, the equation is

x+(x+2)+(x+4)=189

x+x+2+x+4=189

3x+6=189

3x=1896

3x=183

x=1833

x=61

first number=x=61.

second number =x+2=61+2=63

Third number =x+4=61+4=65

so, the three numbers are 61,63 and 65
