Answer:17
Explanation:
Let the first of the four consecutive odd numbers be x. To find the following odd number you have to add 2. This would give us the sequence:
x x+2 x+4 x+6
Add the four terms together and let it be equal to 56, then simplify.
x + x+2 + x+4 + x+6 = 56
4x + 12 =56
4x = 44
x = 11.
The largest of the four consecutive odd numbers is x + 6. So, substitute the value of x into the expression.
x + 6
11 + 6
17
