Answer 1

Given:-

• The sum of two consecutive odd numbers is 56.

To Find:-

• The two consecutive odd numbers

Solution:-

Let the two consecutive odd numbers be:- x & x + 2

x + x + 2 = 56

Sum = 56

x = ?

According to the question,we have,

x + x + 2 = 56

2x + 2 = 56

2x = 56 - 2

x = 54/2

x = 27

x = 27

x + 2

27 + 2 = 29

27,29 are the two consecutive odd numbers that gives the sum 56.

Answer 2

$\sf{\huge{\underline{\pink{Given :-}}}}$

• The sum of two consecutive odd numbers is 56.

$\sf{\huge{\underline{\blue{To\:Find :-}}}}$

• The Number obtained .

$\sf{\huge{\underline{\purple{Solution :-}}}}$

Let the consecutive odd no be x.

And , the other odd number be (x + 2)

We have, The sum of two consecutive odd numbers is 56.

Which means,

x + (x + 2) = 56

➝ 2x + 2 = 56

➝ 2x = 56 -2

➝ 2x = 54

➝ x = $\cancel{\dfrac{54}{2}}$

➝ x = 27

(x + 2) = 26 + 2 = 29

The two numbers are 27 & 29 or (26,28) .
