Question

the sum of 2 consecutive odd numbers is 168 what are the integers

Answer 1

Answer:

let one odd integer be '2n + 1' and the other consequetive odd integer be '2n + 3'

ATQ,

2n + 1 + 2n + 3 = 168

=> 4n = 168 - 4

=> n = 164/4 = 41

Hence first integer is -

2n + 1 = 2×41 + 1 = 83

and second integer is -

2n + 3 = 2×41 + 3 = 85
