Demarion Wilkins · Answer 1

The smallest out of 3 should be 3 right

Kendall Terry · Answer 2

Odd numbers are 2 apart

so they are n, n+2, n+4

the sum is 105

n+n+2+n+4=105

3n+6=105

minus 6 both sideds

3n=99

divide both sides by 3

n=33

n+2=35

n+4=37

33 is the smallest number

that's the smallest number
