Question

The average of four consecutive odd number is 28.Find the largest number.

Answer 1

Answer:

31 is the largest number

Step-by-step explanation:

let the numbers be x, x + 2, x + 4, x + 6

average of the numbers is = 28

$\frac{x + x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6}{4} = 28 \\ 4x + 12 = 28 \times 4 \\ 4x + 12 = 112 \\ 4x = 112 - 12 \\ 4x = 100 \\ x = \frac{100}{4} = 25$

the numbers are

x = 25

x + 2 = 25 + 2 = 27

x + 4 = 25 + 4 = 29

x + 6 = 25 + 6 = 31

therefore the largest number is 31
