Question

Two consecutive odd integers have a sum of 48. What are the two odd integers? Give 5 integers whose product is less than zero and whose sum is -26?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Two consecutive odd integers have a sum of 48.

the two odd integers?

(x) + (x+2) = 48

• 2x + 2 = 48

• 2x = 46 •

x = 23, x + 2 = 25

• 23 + 25 = 48 •

Ans: 23, 25 •

They are both odd and they equal 48.

2) the numbers are -5,-5,-5,-5,-6

if we add them we get,

= (-5)+ (-5) + (-5) + (-5) + (-6)

= 26

product = (-5) × (-5) × (-5) × (-5) × (-6)

= -3750 ,which is less than zero
