Question

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

Answer 1

Answer: The two numbers are 27 and 29.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one number be x.

Then other number be x + 2. ( We are taking x+ 2 because the two numbers consecutive odds, if we take x+ 1 then one will be even.)

x+ ( x+2) = 56

x+ x+ 2= 56

2x = 56 -2

2x= 54

x = 54/2

x = 27

One number (x)  = 27

Other number (x +2) = 27 +2 = 29
