    Let us assume the first odd number = x

    Then the second consecutive odd number = x + 2

    The third consecutive odd number = x + 4

    The addition of the three consecutive odd numbers = 75

    Then we can write the equation as

    x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 75

    3x + 6 = 75

    3x = 75 - 6

    3x = 69

    x = 69/3

    = 23

    Then

    The greatest odd number in the question = X + 4

    = 23 + 4

    = 27

    So the greatest odd number in the question is 27.
