Question

If the sum of two consecutive odd natural numbers is 290.What are the numbers?​

Answer 1

Let the 2 consecutive odd numbers be : x+1 and

x+3

x+1 + x+3 = 290

x+x + 1+3 = 290

2x+4 = 290

2x = 290 - 4

2x = 286

x = 286 ÷ 2

x = 143

x+1 = 143 + 1 = 144

x+3 = 143 + 3 = 146

144+146 = 290

2 consecutive numbers = 144,146

Answer 2

let the one no be x

other no be x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

atq

x+x+2=290
