Question

Two consecutive odd integers have a sum of 44 . Find the integers.

Answer 1

n+n+2=44 combine like terms on left side

2n+2=44 subtract 2 from both sides

2n=42 divide both sides by 2

n=21

So n and n+2 are 21 and 23.

Answer 2

2 consecutive odd integers...x and x + 2

x + x + 2 = 44
2x + 2 = 44
2x = 44 - 2
2x = 42
x = 42/2
x = 21

x + 2 = 21 + 2 = 23

ur numbers are 21 and 23
