Answer 1

ANSWER:

Required number = 27 and 29.

GIVEN:

Sum of two consecutive odd numbers is 56.

TO FIND:

The required number.

SOLUTION:

Let 'x' be the first odd number.

Other consecutive odd number = (x+2)

According to the Question:

=> x+x+2 = 56

=>2x+2 = 56

=> 2x = 56-2

=> 2x = 54

=> x = 54/2

=> x = 27

Other number = 27+2

= 29

Required number = 27 and 29.

NOTE:

This type of Question can be solved by using linear equation in one variable.

Simplify the expression and find the value of the variable.

Answer 2

Answer:

27 and 29

Step-by-step explanation:

sum of two consecutive odd numbers is 56

Let one number be x

So, the other number will be x + 2

According to question:-

x + (x + 2) = 56

x + x + 2 = 56

2x + 2 = 56

2x = 56 - 2

2x = 54

x = 54/2

x = 27

Hence, the two consecutive odd numbers are x=27 and x+2=27+2=29
