Question

The sum of two consecutive number odd numbers is 60

Answer 1

Answer:

29  and  31

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be considered as x and (x+2). From the data, we can write.

x + (x+2) = 60

x + x + 2 = 60

2x + 2 = 60

Subtract 2 from each side.

2x = 58

Divide both sides by 2.

x = 29

∴ (x + 2) = 29 + 2 = 31

Answer 2

Answer:

29,31

Step-by-step explanation:

let the 2 consecutive nos. be (x+1) and (x+3)

x+1 +x+3=60

2x+4 =60

2x=56

x=28

x+1 =29

x+3 =31
