Question

The sum of two consecutive odd integers is 56.

Answer 1

Answer:

Two consecutive odd integers are 27 and 29.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two consecutive odd integers be 2x + 1 and 2x + 3.

According to the question,

=> sum of two consecutive odd integers = 56

=> 2x + 1 + 2x + 3 = 56

=> 4x = 52

=> x = 13

Therefore,

First integer = 2x + 1 = 2 × 13 + 1 = 27

Second integer = 2x + 3 = 2 × 13 + 3 = 29
