Question

Find two consecutive odd numbers whose sum is 56 let the consecutive odd numbers be 2x + 2 x + 3

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let consecutive odd numbers be

2n+1 and 2n+3

according to question,

2n+1+2n+3= 56

4n+4=56

4n=56-4=52

4n= 52

n=52/4=13

so first number is 2(13)+1=26+1=27

and second number is

2(13)+3=26+3%=29

so , number are 27 and 29
