Question

The sum of two consecutive odd intergers is 56. What are the intergers

Answer 1

27 and 29.

Explanation:

You can subtract 1 from 56 to get 55, and then divide by 2. You get 27. That is the first Interger, then you can find the next consecutive Interger which is 29 to find you answer.

55/2= 27

26, 28, 29

Answer 2

x+(x+2)=56
2x=54
x=27
and so the first odd number is 27 and the second is 29
