Let the first number be x

Then the second odd number would be x  +2

The third one would be x + 4

Add them together to equal 75:

x + x +2  + x+4 = 75

Simplify:

3x + 6 = 75

Subtract 6 from both sides:

3x = 69

Divide both sides by 3:

x = 23

First number = 23

Second number = 25

Third number = 27
