Question

find two concecutive odd number whose sumis 156

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one of the number is Be X then the other will be x + 2 this is because we have to add two odd numbers

Now X + X + 2 is equals to 2 X + 2 which is equal to 156 no 156 - 2 is equals to 2x

154 is equals to 2x

X is equals to 77

X+2= 79

Answer 2

77 and 79

let x =the smallest of the two integer = 2n+1
let y = the largest of the two integer = 2n+3
given x+y =156
substitutions of x and y in term of n

2n+1+2n+3= 156
4n = 152
n =38


compute the value of x and y

x =2 (38) +1
x= 77
x=79
