The numbers you are looking for are 23, 25, and 27. Let's start by defining a variable. Let x be the first of the three odd numbers. Since odd numbers are 2 apart, that means that the other two numbers are x + 2 and x + 4.
Now, their sum is x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) which equals 3x + 6.
Decrease that by the second number, x + 2. That means: 3x + 6 - (x + 2), which is equal to 2x + 4.
So now we know that 2x + 4 = 50, and we can solve that easily:
2x + 4 = 50
2x = 46
x = 23
Therefore, the three odd numbers are 23, 25, and 27. Hope this helps! Please mark Brainliest. Thank you v much! :)
