Question

What are the two consecutive odd numbers give 56 Find the numbers​

Answer 1

Explanation:

$2x + 2 = 56. 2x = 56 - 2 = 54. x = 27. x + 2 = 27 +2 = 29.$

Answer 2

Answer:

First number = 27

second number = 29.

Explanation:

Let the consecutive odd numbers = x+1 & x+3

According to the sum,

(x+1)+(x+3) = 56

2x+4=56

2x = 56-4

x = 52/2

x = 26

The first number = x+1 => 26+1 = 27

The second number = x+3 => 26+3 = 29

Check: 27+29 = 56

56=56

LHS = RHS.
