Question

There are 4 consecutive odd integers that sum to 120.

Answer 1

27, 29, 31, 33

Explanation:

Let x represent the smallest odd integer then...

x+2 represents the second

x+4 represents the third

x+6 represents the fourth

We can use this to set up an equation:

x+x+2+x+4+x+6=120

Combine like terms

4x+12=120

Subtract 12 from both sides

4x=108

Divide both sides by 2

x=27

The integers are 27, 29, 31, 33
