Question

The sum of two consecutive odd integers is 124

Answer 1

Greetings!

Let x represent the first odd number
Let x+2 represent the second odd number

To solve for the numbers, we can create an equation:

`(x)+(x+2)=124`

Combine like terms:

`2x+2=124`

Add -2 to both sides:

`(2x+2)+(-2)=(124)+(-2)`


`2x=122`

Divide both sides by 2:

`(2x)/(2)= (122)/(2)`


`x=61`

The Answer Is:

`\boxed{x=61}`

The two consecutive odd numbers are 61 and 63.

I hope this helped!
