Question from Vaishnavi, a student:

_+_+_:30. Blanks are to be filled by(1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15) and numbers can be repeated.

Hi Vaishnavi,

Are you looking for three integers from 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15 o that their sum is 30? If so then there is something wrong with this question. Each the integers in your list of possibilities is odd

What do you know about the sum of three odd integers?

If this is not the question write back,
Penny
