Question

Two consecutive odd integers have a sum of 152, what are the integers?

Answer 1

ŠÔĻÛŢÏÔŃ:-

75 AND 77.

STEPS TO PERFORM:-

Let the first odd integer be x.

Then , the consecutive odd integer will be

x+2.

According to the question:-

x+(x+2)=152

2x+2=152

2x=152-2=150

x=150/2=75.

Thus, the two integers are:-

x= 75

x+2=75+2=77.

CROSS CHECK:-

75+77=152.
