Question

The sum of two consecutive odd number is 56. Find the number
​

Answer 1

Answer:

x the first number

x + 2 the second number (since both numbers are odd and consecutive, the difference between them is 2

x + x + 2 = 56

2x = 54

x = 27

amswer: the first number is 27, and the second is 29

lets check the answer: 27 + 29 = 56

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let one consecutive odd number be x

and let the other consecutive odd number be x+3

given sum of those 2 numbers= 56

i.e

x+x+2=56

2x=56-2

2x=54

x=54/2

x=27

Therefore, one consecutive odd number=x=27

and the other consecutive number= x+2= 27+2= 29
