Question

Two consecutive odd integers have a sum of 84. What are the two odd integers

Answer 1

The two consecutive odd integers are 41 and 43

Solution:

Let the two consecutive odd integers be "n" and n + 2

Given that Two consecutive odd integers have a sum of 84

Sum of Two consecutive odd integers = 84

n + n + 2 = 84

2n + 2 = 84

2n = 82

n = 41

Thus the two consecutive odd integers are:

n = 41

n + 2 = 41 + 2 = 43

41 and 43 are the two consecutive odd integers
