find four consecutive odd numbers such as three time the largest number added to twice the smallest number is 93 which of these are prime number
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :-
Three time the largest number added to twice the smallest number is 93 which of these are prime number.
To Find :-
Four consecutive odd numbers.
Solution :-
Let the first number be x.
And the other numbers are be x + 2, x + 4, x + 6
According to the question,
⇒ 3(x + 6) + 2(x) = 93
⇒ 3x + 18 + 2x = 93
⇒ 5x = 93 - 18
⇒ 5x = 75
⇒ x = 75/5
⇒ x = 15
The numbers are :-
1st number = 15
2nd Number = 15 + 2 = 17
3rd Number = 15 + 4 = 19
4th Number = 15 + 6 = 21
The prime numbers are 17 and 19.
• Let four consecutive odd numbers be M, M + 2, M + 4 and M + 6
» If three time the largest number added to twice the smallest number is 93.
A.T.Q.
→ 3(M + 6) + 2(M) = 93
→ 3M + 18 + 2M = 93
→ 5M + 18 = 93
→ 5M = 93 - 18
→ 5M = 75
→ M = 15
_____________________________
From above calculations we have M = 15
So,
1st consecutive odd number = M = 15
2nd consecutive odd number = M + 2
→ 15 + 2 = 17
3rd consecutive odd number = M + 4
→ 15 + 4 = 19
4th consecutive odd number = M + 6
→ 15 + 6 = 21
______________________________
Now.. what is prime number?
=> Numbers that are divisible by itself or by 1.
So, 17 and 19 are the numbers that are divisible by itself.
______________________________
17 and 19 are the prime numbers.
