Question

THE SUM OF TWO CONSECUTIVE ODD NUMBERS IS 36 . THE LARGER NUMBER IS WHAT

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let  n  denote the first odd integer.

If the two integers are consecutive and odd, then the second number is  n + 2

Hence,  n + n+2 = 36

∴ 2n = 34

∴ n = 17

∴ n + 2 = 17 + 2 = 19

The numbers are 17 and 19 and the larger number is 19
