□ + □ + □ = 3 0 Is it possible to fill the 3 boxes above using the numbers below such that the equation holds true? { 1 , 3 , 5 , 7 , 9 , 1 1 , 1 3 , 1 5 }

9 can be used 6 thus 6(9) +11+13=30
True...though as a puzzle..upside down 9..or decimal places using the commas...5,3+9,7+15=30 both solve it. Thinking outside the box.
The numbers given here are odd numbers.. Besides the term of the sum n = 3 is an odd term. But the result given finally is 3 0 ; an even number!.. It's totally impossible.. Because, n ∈ O ; Where O is the set of odd numbers.. And The odd termth sum of odd numbers can never be an even number.. So, \color\red\boxed{Impossible}
Clearly Odd numbers are of the form 2k+1 So sum of three odd number Which can be taken as 2a+1 2b+1 2c+1 Is given as- 2(a+b+c) +3 = 2(a+b+c) +2+1 =2(m) +1 which is odd Hence it is not possible
3!+11+13=30 or 3!+9+15=30
Think over this solution
And yes, I do realise that this explanation is unnecessarily long.
The sum of three odd numbers is odd number, but 30 is even number.

The numbers given are all odd and the sum of three odd numbers is an odd number but 30 is even. Therefore, it in not possible .
