The sum of three consecutive odd numbers is 58 more than the average of these numbers. Find the largest number.
A.27
B.37
C.33
D.31✓ Correct
Explanation
Let the three consecutive odd numbers be x, x+2, x+4. Their sum minus their average equals 58: (3x+6) − (x+2) = 58, so 2x+4=58, x=27, and the largest is 27+4=31.
