Question

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

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

(2x + 1) + (2x + 3) = 56. x = 13. Answers: The 2 numbers are: (2x + 1) = 26 + 1 = 27, and (2x + 3) = 26 + 3 = 29

Answer 2

• As per the data given in the question, we have to determine the Consecutive odd numbers.

        Given data:- The sum of two consecutive odd numbers is $56.$

        To find:-Consecutive odd numbers.

        Solution:-

        Let the first and second consecutive odd numbers are $x$ and $x+2$   respectively.

        Then, according to the given condition,

        $\Rightarrow x+x+2=56\\\Rightarrow 2x+2=56\\\Rightarrow 2x=56-2\\\Rightarrow 2x=54\\\Rightarrow x=27.$

        So, the second number will be

          $\Rightarrow x+2\\=27+2\\=29.$

       Hence, the numbers are $27$ and $29$ respectively.
