Question

Find two consecutive odd whole numbers whose sum is 2 less than 6 times the first number

Plz answer this correct or I will delete it.

Answer 1

Let the two consecutive odd whole numbers be x and x + 2.

Given that Whose sum is 2 less than 6 times the first number.

= > x + x + 2 = 6x - 2

= > 2x + 2 = 6x - 2

= > 2x + 4 = 6x

= > 4x = 4

= > x = 1.

Then,

= > x + 2 

 = > 3.



Therefore the two consecutive numbers are 1 and 3.



Hope this helps!
