Question

The sum of two consecutive odd Mo's is 56. Find the numbers.

Answer 1

Answer:

let the two consecutive odd nos. be x and x+ 1

therefore, by the problem

x + x+2= 56

2x+ 2 = 56

2x= 54

x= 27

hence , x = 27 ; x+1 = 27+1= 28

the two consecutive odd nos are 27 and 28

Answer 2

Answer:

27 and 29

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 1 number be x

Therefore, other number = x + 2

According to question,

⇒ x + x + 2 = 56

⇒ 2x = 56 - 2

⇒ x = 54 ÷ 2

⇒ x = 27

⇒ x + 2 = 27 + 2 = 29

The numbers are 27 and 29
