Question

the sum of 4 consecutive odd numbers is 56 find the greatest of the 4 numbers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the four consecutive odd numbers be n, n+2,n+4,n+6.

n+ n+2+ n+4+n+6 = 56

4n+ 12 = 56

4n = 56-12= 44

n= 44/4=11

1.n=11

2.n+2= 11+2=13

3.n+4=11+4=15

4.n+4=11+6=17

the four consecutive odd numbers are 11,13,15,17
