Question

Th the sum of two consecutive odd integers is 44 find the two integers.(the answer is 21 and 23 please check the ans before posting the solution)

Answer 1

Let the first odd integer be x.
Therefore, 2nd odd integer = ( x+2)
ACQ,

x + x+ 2= 44
2x+2 = 44
2x=42
X = 21.

Therefore, 1st. Odd integer = x= 21
And, 2nd. Odd integer = (x+2) = 21+2 = 23.

Hope that it will help you.

Good night......

Answer 2

Let the sum of two consecutive odd numbers be x and x + 2.

Given that sum of two consecutive odd numbers is 44.

⇒ x + x + 2 = 44

⇒ 2x + 2 = 44

⇒ 2x = 42

⇒ x = 21.

Then:

⇒ x + 2

⇒ 21 + 2

⇒ 23.

Therefore, the numbers are 21 and 23.

Hope this helps!
