Question

the sum of two consecutive odd number is 48 ,the greater number is

Answer 1

Hii !!


Let two consecutive odd numbers are x and X + 2.





Therefore,


x + x + 2 = 48


2x = 48 - 2


2x = 46


x = 23.



First number = X = 23


And,


Second number = x + 2 = 25.

Hence,


The greatest number is 25.

Answer 2

Solutions :-


Given :

Let the two consecutive odd number be x and x + 2 respectively.

A/q

=> x + x + 2 = 48
=> 2x = 48 - 2
=> 2x = 46
=> x = 46/2 = 23

Therefore,
First number = x = 23
Second number = x + 2 = 23 + 2 = 25


Hence,
The greater number = 25
