Question

the sum of the 2 consecutive odd number is 100 . what are the number ( solve using algebraic method )​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of two odd numbers is 100

let the first number be x

the next odd Number will be x + 2

x + x + 2 = 100

2x + 2 = 100

2x = 100 - 2

2x = 98

x = 98/2

x = 49

therefore the first number is x = 49

the second number = x + 2 = 49 + 2 = 51

hence the two consecutive odd numbers are 49 and 51
