Question

express the following numbers as the sum of consecutive odd numbers ; 64​

Answer 1

Since the numbers are to be consecutive odd, therefore,

Let one number be x+1 and other be x+3.

According to condition,

(x+1)+(x+3) = 64

or, 2x+4 = 64

or, 2x = 64-4

or, 2x = 60

or, x = 60/2

or, x = 30

So, first number = x+1 = 30+1 = 31

and second number = x+3 = 30+3 = 33

Hence, the numbers are 31 and 33.
