​

Answer 1

☆ Solution ☆

Given :-

• The sum of 4 consecutive odd numbers is 56.

To Find :-

• The greatest of the 4 numbers.

Step-by-Step-Explaination :-

Let the four consecutive number be x, x + 2 , x + 4, x + 6

According to the question,

x + x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6 = 56

4x + 12 = 56

4x = 56 - 12

4x = 44

x = 44 / 4

x = 11

So,

The four consecutive numbers are :-

x = 11

x + 2 = 11 + 2 = 13

x + 4 = 11 + 4 = 15

x + 6 = 11 + 6 = 17

Hence ,

The greatest number = 17

Answer 2

GIVEN

• ${\bf{\orange{Theㅤ sumㅤ ofㅤ 4 ㅤconsecutive ㅤoddㅤ numbersㅤ is ㅤ56}}}$

TO FIND

• ${\bf{\green{The ㅤgreatest ㅤof ㅤtheㅤ 4ㅤ numbers. }}}$

SOLUTION

Let the four consecutive number be x, x + 2 , x + 4, x + 6

According to the question,

x + x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6 = 56

➡️4x + 12 = 56

➡️4x = 56 - 12

➡️4x = 44

➡️x = 44 / 4

➡️x = 11

So,

The four consecutive numbers are :-

➡️x = 11

➡️x + 2 = 11 + 2 = 13

➡️x + 4 = 11 + 4 = 15

➡️x + 6 = 11 + 6 = 17

. °. Hence ,

The greatest number = 17
