Answer

To find the sum of the first six odd numbers, we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Identify the first six odd numbers
The first six odd numbers are:
1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11

### Step 2: Write down the numbers
We can list them clearly:
- 1
- 3
- 5
- 7
- 9
- 11

### Step 3: Add the numbers together
Now we will add these numbers step by step:
1. First, add the first two numbers:
\(1 + 3 = 4\)
2. Next, add the result to the third number:
\(4 + 5 = 9\)
3. Then, add the result to the fourth number:
\(9 + 7 = 16\)
4. Next, add the result to the fifth number:
\(16 + 9 = 25\)
5. Finally, add the result to the sixth number:
\(25 + 11 = 36\)

### Step 4: Conclusion
The sum of the first six odd numbers is \(36\).
