Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let sum of two consecutive odd numbers are

2x + 1 and 2x + 3 .

Given sum is 124

According to the question

2x + 1 + 2x + 3 = 124

4x + 4 = 124

4x = 124 - 4

4x = 120

X = 120/4

X = 30

First number = 2(30) + 1 = 61

Second number = 2(30) +3 =63

Answer : The biggest number is 63
