Question

find two consecutive odd integers whose sum228

Answer 1

let one no. be x
other no. is x+2
ATQ
x+x+2=228
2x+2=228
2x=228-2=226
x=226/2=113
so two odd number are 113 and 115.

Answer 2

Let the required consecutive odd consecutive numbers are ( 2x + 1 ) and ( 2x + 3 ) .


Given, sum of both the numbers = 228

→ ( 2x + 1 ) + ( 2x + 3 ) = 228

→ 2x + 1 + 2x + 3 = 228

→ 2x + 2x + 1 + 3 = 228

→ 4x + 4 = 228

→ 4( x + 1 ) = 4 × 57

→ x + 1 = 57

→ x = 57 - 1

→ x = 56




Therefore, numbers are :-

2x + 1 = 2( 56 ) + 1 = 112 + 1 = 113

113 + 2 = 115




Numbers : 113 and 115
