The numbers are 63,65,67 and 69

GIVEN:- sum of four consecutive odd integers is 264

TO FIND:- The numbers

SOLUTION:-

  • Consecutive odd integers are odd numbers that follow each other and they differ by 2.

  • Let x be the first odd integer, then x + 2, x + 4 and x + 6 are the other three consecutive odd integers.

According to the sum,

The sum of four consecutive odd integers is 264

x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) + (x + 6) = 264

 x + x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6  = 264\\  4x + 12 = 264 \\  4x = 264 - 12 \\ 4x = 252 \\ x =  \frac{252}{4}  \\ x = 63

First odd integer = x = 63

Other consecutive odd integers

  • x+2=63+2=65
  • x+4=63+4=67
  • x+6=63+6=69

Hence, the numbers are 63,65,67 and 69
