Finding Consecutive Numbers
The problem written on the board is to find 3 consecutive numbers with a sum of 63, but the teacher finds 3 consecutive ODD numbers with a sum of 63.
In this lesson, we learn how to find three consecutive odd numbers with a sum of 63. We start by labeling the first number as X, then find the next two numbers by adding 2 to the previous number each time. We then write an equation and solve it using inverse operations to find that X equals 19. Therefore, the three consecutive odd numbers are 19, 21, and 23.

I show how to solve math problems online during live instruction in class. This is my way of providing free tutoring for the students in my class and for students anywhere in the world. Every video is a short clip that shows exactly how to solve math problems step by step. The problems are done in real time and in front of a regular classroom. These videos are intended to help you learn how to solve math problems, review how to solve a math problems, study for a test, or finish your homework. I post all of my videos on YouTube, but if you are looking for other ways to interact with me and my videos you can follow me on the following pages through My Blog, Twitter, or Facebook.
