Question

Translate into equations, but do not solve:
a The sum of two consecutive odd integers is 52? ​

Answer 1

X + (X + 2) = 52

Explanation:

Given that the sum of two consecutive odd integers is 52, to determine the equation that solves this problem, the following calculation must be performed:

X + (X + 2) = 52

2X + 2 = 52

X = (52 - 2) / 2

X = 50/2

X = 25

X + 2 =?

25 + 2 = 27

Therefore, the consecutive odd integers are 25 and 27.
