Let us say that the first number is X
(between every two odd integers 2 numbers are there eg. 3,5,7,9,11,13, etc.)
So the 2nd number is X+2
After adding 2 to the 2nd number you'll get 3rd number to be X+4
Now we will add the three numbers and show that theirbsum equals to 225
X + X+2 + X+4 = 225
X+X+X + 2+4 =225
3X + 6 =225
3X =225 -6
3X =219
X =219/3
X = 73
Therefore,
The first number i.e, X = 73
The second number i.e X+2= 73 + 2 =75
The third number i.e X+4 = 73 + 4 =77
