Question

Find four consecutive odd number whose sum is 136

Answer 1

Answer:

first consecutve no= x

2nd consecutive no=x+1

3rd consecutive no = x +1+1=x+2

4th consecutive no =x+1+1+1=x+3

sum of consecutive no = 136

according to question

x+x+1+x+2+x+3=136

4x+6=136

4x= 136-6

4x=130

x=130/4

Answer 2

Answer:

33,35,37

Step-by-step explanation:

since they are odd numbers, let the numbers be x, x+2, x+4, and x+6

x + x+2 + x+4 + x+6 = 136

.'. 4x + 12 = 136

.'. 4x = 136 - 12 ( transposition )

.'. 4x = 124

.'. x = 124 / 4 ( transposition )

.'. x = 31

.'. x+2 = 31 + 2 = 33

.'. x+4 = 31 + 4 = 35

.'. x+6 = 31 + 6 = 37

.'. the numbers are 33,35,37
