Question

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

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the four consecutive odd numbers be x+1, x+3,x+5,x+7

so, x+1+x+3+x+5+x+7= 56

4x + 16 = 56

4x = 56 - 16

4x = 40

x = 40 / 4

x = 10

The four consecutive odd numbers are

x+1 = 10+1 = 11

x+3 = 10 + 3 = 13

x + 5 = 10 + 5 = 15

x+ 7 = 10 + 7 = 17
