Question

the sum of two consecutive odd numbers is 56 find the numbers​

Answer 1

Answer:

To solve this problem, you need to write an equation using what you know.

You know that the sum of two odd integers is 56. So pick x to be your first odd integer, which would make x+2 the next odd integer. So your equation would be:

x + (x+2) = 56

2x + 2 = 56

2x = 54

x = 27

x + 2 = 27 + 2 = 29

So your two consecutive odd integers are 27 and 29.

Answer 2

Answer:

let one consecutive odd number be x.

and let the other consecutive odd number be x-3

given same those 2 number=56

x+x+2=56

2x+56-2

2x=54

x=54/2

x=27

therefore,one consecutive odd number x=27

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