Question

 Convert the following into mathematical statements.




The sum of two consecutive odd natural number is 50.​

Answer 1

Let the two consecutive odd natural numbers be x and x+2.

x + x+2 = 50

2x = 50-2

2x = 48

x = 24

x + 2 = 24 + 2 = 26.

The two numbers are 24 and 26 but they are even.
