Step 1
First odd number is n
Second odd number is n + 2
Third odd number is n + 4
n + n + 2 + n + 4 = 207
3 n + 6 = 207
3 n + 201
n = 67
So the answer is 67, 69, and 71

Step 1
Let the smallest consecutive odd number = x
So the 2nd would = x + 2
and the biggest would = x + 4
so x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 207
or
3 x + 6 = 207 3 x = 201 x = 67 x + 2 = 69 x + 4 = 71
