Question

the sum of two consecutive odd integer is 36 . find the integer​

Answer 1

Let us assume x to be an odd integer. Then the consecutive odd integers would be x and x+2.

Given that,

Sum of two consecutive odd integers is 36.

We get the following equation,

x+(x+2)=36

→2x+2=36

→2(x+1)=36

→x+1=18

→x=17

______________________________

•Other number:

x+2

=17+2

=19

______________________________

The numbers are of the form x and x+2.

The numbers would be 17 and 19

Verification:

17+19

=36

=RHS

Hence, verified
