Question

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

Answer 1

the 4 consecutive odd integers adding to 56 are 11,13,15,17

first let's define the four consecutive odd integers I we will call the first or integers I

then by definitions of odd consecutive the next three will be

I+2, 2 i + 4 and I + 6

knowing they add up to 56 we can write and then solve for i

i + i + 2 + i + 4 + i + 6 = 56

i+i + i + i + y + 2 + 4 + 6 = 56

4i+ 12 =56

45i+ 12 - 12 = 56 - 12

4i+=44

4i4 =444

4i4 = 11

I= 11

then the other three consecutive odd integers will be

i + 2 = 13

i + 4 = 15

i + 6 =17

hope it will help you
