Question

sum of two consecutive odd numbers is 56 find the numbers

Answer 1

Answer:

27 and 29

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two consecutive odd nos are 2X+1 and 2x+3.

According to question,

2x+1 + 2x+3 = 56

4x + 4 = 56

4x = 52

X =13

So the nos are 27 and 29

Answer 2

Given -

• The sum of two consecutive numbers = 56

To find -

• The numbers.

Solution -

Let the two numbers be x + 2 and x + 4.

According to the question

⇛ x + 2 + x + 4 = 56

⇛ 2x + 6 = 56

⇛ 2x = 56 - 6

⇛ 2x = 50

⇛ x = 50/2

⇛ x = 25

The value of x = 25

❒ The two numbers -

• x + 2 = 25 + 2 = 27
• x + 4 = 25 + 4 = 29

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Let's verify -

To verify -

• Add both the numbers, their sum should be equal to 56 as given in the question.

⇛ 27 + 29

⇛ 56

Hence verified.
