Question

EXERCISE 7.3

2. The sum of 4 consecutive odd numbers is 152. Find the smallest of these numbers.


​

Answer 1

Answer:

35

Step-by-step explanation:

let the first odd no. be X

so, the three odd no.s will be

X+2, X+4,X+6

therefore,

X+X+2+X+4+X+6=152

4X+12=152

4X=140

X=140/4

X=35

therefore,

the other three no.s are

37,39,41

the smallest of these no.s is 35
