Question

sum of two consecutive odd numbers is 56 find those numbers

Answer 1

Let the odd numbers be

x+1,x+3

x+1+x+3=56

2x+4=56

2x=52

x=26

The numbers are x+1 and x+3

therfore the numbers are 27 and 29

Answer 2

let the numbers be x+1 and x+3

x+1+x+3=56

2x+4=56

2x=56-4

x=52/2=26

therefore the consecutive odd numbers are 27 and 29
