Answer:

A composite odd number is any number that is odd and is not a prime number.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s consider the composite odd number as x.  

We will now compare the given data and solve for x:

  • x is a greater than 50.
  • x is divisible by both 3 and 17, therefore

                 x = 3 * 17= 51

  • A number which is divisible by both 5 and 11 would be 5 * 11= 55.
  • Now, 4 less than a multiple of 5 and 11, i.e. 55 - 4 = 51.

Thus, x or a composite odd number is 51, as it satisfies all the above given conditions.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Our question is: What number am I ? I am a composite odd number more than 50 , divisible by 3 and 17 and 4 less than a multiple 5 and 11​

First we need to define a composite number, what is a composite number? A composite number is any non-prime odd number.

Let x be a composite number.

We know that x is greater than 50 and divisible by 3 and 17, thus we can say without loss of generality that x := 3 * 17 = 51.

We are also given that x is multiple of 5 and 11,  that is, 5 * 11 = 55.

Finally we know that x is 4 less than a multiple of 5, then we conclude that 55-4 = 51.

Hence, you are number 51.

I hope this helps your studies!!

Keep it up!!
