Question

the sum of 2 consecutive positive odd numbers is 144 find the numbers

Answer 1

hey mate.....

the answer is ....

let the 2 consecutive positive odd numbers be x & x + 2

sum= 144

x + x + 2 = 144

2x + 2= 144

2x = 144 - 2

2x = 142

x = 142/2

x= 71

x+ 2 = 73

hope it will uu dear

Answer 2

let first number be x
then second no. = x+2 (since it is given odd number)
so
$x + x + 2 = 144 \\ 2x + 2 = 144 \\ 2x = 144 - 2 \\ 2x = 142 \\ x = \frac{142}{2} \\ x = 71$
now second no. =x+2
so
$x + 2 = 71 + 2 = 73$
