Answer 1

let the odd consecutive no. be x
then ,
the other consecutive no. be x+2 ..
given sum of both no. are 56
A/q ,
x+ (x+2) =56
2x = 56 - 2
x= 54/2
x= 27
therefore one consecutive no. means x= 27
and the second one is 27 +2 = 29 ...

Answer 2

Answer:

your answer is 27 and 29

Step-by-step explanation:

let the consecutive odd numbers be x and x+2

according to the question

2+(x+2)=56

2x + 2 = 56

2x +2 =56

2x=56 -2

2x=54

x=

$\frac{54}{2}$

x=27...

x+3=27+2 =29

therefore the odd consecutive numbers are 27 and 29.....
