(11-5)+(13-1)+(15-3)=30
6+12+12=30

MODIFIED:

Can't be solved. Rules of arithmetic, odd
+odd=even, odd+even=odd. Since the question
requires 3 odd starting numbers, they will
always sum to a odd sum.


edit: If integers aren't required, the decimal
solutions others have are quite clever

It's simple base addition let's use base 9:
So 99+99+99=30
Those who have done computer science or electrical engineering will get it, for those who don't, we operate using base10, so for base9 let's all calculations such as 4+4=8 are the same as base10, but when it comes to calculations like
9+9= 20, it's just like base2 where
12+12=10.

You see in base9 the number 9 is the last number, so there's no 10, so when you add the last numbers together you get 20 for arithmetic convenience, how? well in base9 there are 10 numbers: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 so it'd expected that if you add the tenth number to itself it should give the twentieth number then if you add again it should give the thirtieth number.
if ur base attempt is trully wats needed 4 ds, hw exactly did u jump @ base 9, did u start wiv base 3 n work ur way up or u just quessed

I tried all bases from 2 to 16 after that, then i tried up to 20 and i realized that the included numbers were just not big enough to add up to 30 for any of those bases.

SegunMike:
Here's my attempt.
N/B: The question didn't specify the units of the number(s) on the two sides of the equation, thus I'm free to assume mine.

So,

1 + 1 + 5 = 30

How;
1 (day) + 1 (hour) + 5 (hours) = 30 (hours).

That's the way I choose to reason this, and I'm entitled to my opinion.

Thanks. smiley
If you tot of taking this direction all by urself...... I think having you make decisions for me will be a great step on my part cause i am sure it will me made outta the box....

Its impossible for the 3 of any of those numbers to fill the gaps and add up to 30.

If numbers like 2 , 4 , 6 , 8 are put in the mix, It becomes possible.
