Step-by-step explanation:
Let the first consecutive odd number = x
& the second number = x + 2
According to the question :
x + ( x + 2 ) = 68
=> 2x + 2 = 68 ( by adding x + x )
=> 2x = 68 - 2
=> 2x = 66
=> x = 66 / 2
=> x = 33
Therefore, our first number is 33.
So, our second number x + 2 = 33 + 2 = 35.
Hence our two consecutive odd numbers whose sum is 68 are 33 & 35.
I hope it helps you..........
