Question

The sum of two consecutive odd
numbers is 56. Find the
numbers
?​

Answer 1

Answer:

let consecutive odd number be

x,x+2

(because odd numbers common difference is 2

ex: 3,5. 5-3=2)

now sum is 56

Step-by-step explanation:

x+x+2=56

2x=54

x=27

therefore the numbers are 27,29

Answer 2

Answer:

27,29

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two consecutive odd number be x and x+2

According to the given condition,

x+(x+2)=56

2x+2=56

2x=56-2

2x=54

x=54/2

x=27

x+2=29

Therefore, the two consecutive odd

numbers are 27 and 29
