Answer 1

Answer:

• First odd number is 49
• Second odd number is 51 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be = x

then, another consecutive odd number be = x+2

Now,

It is given that the sum of these two consecutive odd number is 100

________________________________________

According to the Given Statement

→ x + (x+2) = 100

→ 2x + 2 = 100

→ 2x = 100-2

→ 2x = 98

→ x = 98/2

→ x = 49

• So, the first odd number is 49 and the second consecutive odd number is 51 .

Answer 2

Question:-

• Sum of two consecutive odd numbers is 100. What are the numbers?

To Find:-

• Find the numbers.

Solution:-

• Let the first number be x

• The second number is x + 2

• Sum of the numbers = 100

According to the Question:-

$\sf\longrightarrow \: x + x + 2 = 100$

$\sf\longrightarrow \: 2x = 100 - 2$

$\sf\longrightarrow \: 2x = 98$

$\sf\longrightarrow \: x = \cancel\dfrac { 98 } { 2 }$

$\sf\longrightarrow \: x = 49$

Hence ,

• First number is 49

• Second number is 51
