Question

The sum of two consecutive odd natural numbers is 156.Find the numbers

Answer 1

✬ First number = 77 ✬

✬ Second number = 79 ✬

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

• The sum of two consecutive odd natural numbers is 156.

To Find:

• What are two numbers ?

Solution: Let first odd natural number be x therefore second odd natural number will be (x + 2).

A/q

• (First + Second) odd number = 156

$\implies{\rm }$ x + (x + 2) = 156

$\implies{\rm }$ 2x + 2 = 156

$\implies{\rm }$ 2x = 156 – 2

$\implies{\rm }$ 2x = 154

$\implies{\rm }$ x = 154/2

$\implies{\rm }$ x = 77

Hence,

➙ First odd natural number is x = 77

➙ Second odd natural number = (x + 2)

=> (77 + 2) = 79

★ Verification ★

➟ (First + Second) odd number = 156

➟ (77 + 79) = 156

➟ 156 = 156

Answer 2

QUESTION:

The sum of two consecutive odd natural numbers is 156.Find the numbers

ANSWER:

Let,

the first odd natural number be $\red {x}$then the other consecutive odd natural number will be $\red {(x+2)}$.

GIVEN :

Sum of two two odd natural numbers is 156.

$\pink {According \: to \: question:}$

$x + (x + 2) = 156 \\ 2x + 2 = 156 \\ 2x = 156 - 2 \\ 2x = 154 \\ x = \frac{154}{2} \\ x = 77$

Hence the first odd natural number is 77.

Other odd natural number will be (77+2) = 79.

FINAL ANSWER :

$\huge\red{77 \: and \: 79}$
