Answer 1

hey dear


here is your answer


Solution




given


sum of two consecutive odd number is 140


so


we let the number be n


assume (n)



sum of odd consecutive number is


n ( n. +2 ) =140


2n + 2 = 140


2n. = 140 -2


2n = 138


n = 138 /2


n. = 69



hence odd consecutive number is


n + 2


n. = 69 + 2

n. =71



hence answer is 71




hope it helps


thank you

Answer 2

Hey!

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

Given :-

Sum of 2 consecutive odd number = 140

_______________________________

Let the number be x

Odd consecutive number :-

______________________________________________________________

x (x + 2) = 140

=> 2x + 2 = 140

=> 2x = 140 - 2

=> 2x = 138

=> x = 138 ÷ 2

=> x = 69

_______________________________

Odd consecutive number :-

Put x + 2

x + 2

•Substitute the value of x :-

=69 + 2

= 71
