Question

The sum of fourcconsecutive odd numbers is504. Find the numbers

Answer 1

Answer:

This is your solution-

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between consecutive odd numbers is 2.

e.g. 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11......

in this series difference between ,

1 and 3 = 2

5 and 3 = 2 and so on.

According to given question,

let the first number of series of consecutive odd numbers be x.

The series of first 4 consecutive odd numbers will be,

x, x+2, x+4, x+6

Sum of first 4 consecutive numbers = 504

x + x+2 + x+4 + x+6 = 504

4x + 12 = 504

4x = 504-12 =492

x = 492/4

x = 123

Thus the series will be,

x=123

x+2 = 123+2 =125

x+4 = 123+4 = 127

x+6 = 123+6 = 129

Answer is 123, 125, 127, 129
