What is the answer to My hundreds digit is the last odd number. Five less than my hundreds digits is my ones and my tens digit is to more than my ones digit. My thousands digit is three less than my hundreds digit.
Just take each sentence and place the required digit in for one of the x's. Start with

and move right along.
To solve this question, we need to break down the given information step by step.
1. The hundreds digit is the last odd number: There are only four odd numbers to consider for the hundreds digit: 1, 3, 5, and 7.
2. Five less than the hundreds digit is the ones digit: Let's take each odd number one by one and subtract 5 from it to find the corresponding ones digit.
- If the hundreds digit is 1, then the ones digit would be -4 (1 - 5 = -4).
- If the hundreds digit is 3, then the ones digit would be -2 (3 - 5 = -2).
- If the hundreds digit is 5, then the ones digit would be 0 (5 - 5 = 0).
- If the hundreds digit is 7, then the ones digit would be 2 (7 - 5 = 2).
3. The tens digit is two more than the ones digit: We can now calculate the tens digit based on the values obtained in the previous step.
- If the ones digit is -4, then the tens digit would be -2 (-4 + 2 = -2).
- If the ones digit is -2, then the tens digit would be 0 (-2 + 2 = 0).
- If the ones digit is 0, then the tens digit would be 2 (0 + 2 = 2).
- If the ones digit is 2, then the tens digit would be 4 (2 + 2 = 4).
4. The thousands digit is three less than the hundreds digit: Now, we can determine the thousands digit based on the hundreds digit.
- If the hundreds digit is 1, then the thousands digit would be -2 (1 - 3 = -2).
- If the hundreds digit is 3, then the thousands digit would be 0 (3 - 3 = 0).
- If the hundreds digit is 5, then the thousands digit would be 2 (5 - 3 = 2).
- If the hundreds digit is 7, then the thousands digit would be 4 (7 - 3 = 4).
Therefore, we have found four possible combinations for the digits of the number:
1. -2, -2, and -4, giving us the number -2,224.
2. 0, 0, and -2, giving us the number 2,020.
3. 2, 2, and 0, giving us the number 2,220.
4. 4, 4, and 2, giving us the number 4,422.
So, there are four possible answers: -2,224; 2,020; 2,220; and 4,422.
