Answer 2

Given:

Two consecutive odd numbers

• Sum = 56

What To Find:

The value of two consecutive odd numbers

Solution:

Let the first consecutive number be x.

Let the second consecutive number be x + 2.

So the equation will be,

⇒ x + x + 2 = 56

Add x and x in LHS,

⇒ 2x + 2 = 56

Take 2 to RHS,

⇒ 2x = 56 - 2

Subtract 2 from 56,

⇒ 2x = 54

Take 2 to RHS,

⇒ x = $\dfrac{54}{2}$

Divide 54 by 2,

⇒ x = 27

• 1st consecutive number = x = 27
• 2nd consecutive number = x + 2 = 27 + 2 = 29

∴ Hence, the two consecutive odd numbers are 27 and 29 respectively.
