Question

Four consecutive odd integers have a sum of 80. find the integers.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let's represent the four consecutive odd integers as x, x+2, x+4, and x+6. Now, we can set up an equation based on the given information:

x + (x+2) + (x+4) + (x+6) = 80

Combine like terms:

4x + 12 = 80

Subtract 12 from both sides:

4x = 68

Now, divide by 4:

x = 17

So, the four consecutive odd integers are 17, 19, 21, and 23, with a sum of 80.
