Question

If the variable Q is an odd integer, how do you represent the next two consecutive odd integers (in terms of Q)?
Write each answer in terms of Q, each answer separated by a comma (example Q-1, Q+3).

Answer 1

Given:

Q is an odd integer

To find:

The next two consecutive odd integers in terms of Q

Answer:

• Since Q is a odd integer the two higher odd integers must be 2 and 4 units greater than Q.
• For example if Q = -7 the next two higher odd integers are -5 and -3.
• This is represented as Q+2 and Q+4.

The two consecutive odd integers of Q are expressed in terms of Q as Q+2, Q+4.
