Question

The sum of four consecutive odd numbers is 80. Find the numbers​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the nos be 2x-3,2x-1,2x+1,2x+3

2x-3+2x-1+2x+1+2x+3 = 8x =80

x=10

Answer 2

Answer:

Numbers are 17, 19, 21 & 23

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x, [x+2], [x-2] & [x+4].

= x + [x + 2] + [x - 2] + [x + 4] = 80

= 4x + 4 = 80

= 4x = 80 - 4

= 4x = 76

= x = 76/4

= x = 19

∴ Consecutive odd numbers are:

= x = 19

= [x + 2] = 19 + 2 = 21

= [x - 2] = 19 - 2 = 17

= [x + 4] = [19 + 4] = 23
