To solve this question you need to use decimals. You can't make an answer just by adding any of those 3 whole numbers as they all are odd numbers. So by using decimals you can overcome the above said problem.


And the answer is


13.573 + 9.3111 + 7.1159 = 30

                                                 

Note: No numbers used outside from the List

You're right and you needed to find the answer on YouTube in order to solve it correctly. As long as you can use decimal points you have an endless number of possibilities to solve this. Without this there is no way to solve it.

This question is unsolveable.No three or five or seven odd numbers can be added to give an even number.Three odd numbers added together will always give an odd number yet the result in this solution is even(30)

I think the best solution will be to use two odd number,example, 15+15,or else we can use four odd numbers,example, 13+11+3+3=30.

You can see the sum of 3 odd numbers can't be an even number. But if think from another point of view, you can rotate 9 180degree so it become a 6 then add 15 and 9

Finally 9+15+6=30

Puzzles are a great way to brainstorm our minds and keep us awake. Mathematical questions are meant to test our reasoning. 

From this one with no even numbers it's hard to get to 30. 

Conclusion 

Even numbers are important in mathematical equations.

Addition of 3 odd numbers can never be a even number. so, accordingly this answer could not be possible to solve as per the rule mathematics. You may use some tricks of rotation or else which does not fits in the rule of mathematics.

I don't know if we can do this or not but I am using factorial of 3 which is equal to 6

So,

3! +9+15=30


The last time I checked this question, it was  when I was 12. I didn't understand it much but I think they used the brackets too.
