Answer 1

A set of 4 consecutive odd integers sums to 32. What is the greatest of these integers?

Let

x -----> the first od integer

x+2 ----> the second odd integer

x+4----> the third odd integer

x+6 ---> the fourth odd integer

we have

x+(x+2)+(x+4)+(x+6)=32

solve for x

4x+12=32

4x=20

x=5

so

x+6=5+6=11

therefore

the answer is 11
