HELPPPP‼️‼️‼️

If x is the first of two consecutive odd integers, and the sum of the two integers is 72, what is the smaller of the two integers?

Answer 1

X = 35 is the right answer

Answer 2

x = 35.

Explanation:

since they are odd, the second number isn't x + 1, it is x + 2.

x + x + 2 = 72

2x + 2 = 72

2x = 70

x = 35
