Question

the sum of two consecutive odd numberis 44 Find the numbers you can assume the first odd no. as 2x +1.​

Answer 1

Answer: 21, 23.

Step-by-step explanation:

First odd number is (2x+1).

Difference between consecutive odd numbers is 2.

Second odd number is 2x+1+2 = 2x+3.

2x+1 + 2x+3 = 44

=> 4x + 4 = 44

=> X+1 = 11

=> X = 11 - 1 = 10.

First odd number is 2*10 +1 = 21.

Second number is 2*10 + 3 = 23.

Answer 2

According to question we have first odd consecutive number is 2x + 1.

• Let another odd consecutive number be 2x + 3

A.T.Q.

» The sum of two consecutive odd numberis 44.

=> 2x + 1 + 2x + 3 = 44.

=> 4x + 4 = 44

=> 4(x + 1) = 44

=> x + 1 = 11

=> x = 11 - 1

=> x = 10

_____________________________

First odd number is 2(10) + 1

= 20 + 1 = 21

Second odd number is 2(10) + 3
