Question

The sum of two consecutive odd integers
is 540. What are the integers?

Answer 1

The integers are 269 and 271.

Explanation:

Since the sum of two consecutive odd integers is 540, to determine what are the integers, the following calculation must be performed:

Odd integer 1: X

Odd integer 2: X + 2

X + X + 2 = 540

2X + 2 = 540

2X = 540 - 2

X = 538/2

X = 269

Therefore, the integers are 269 and 271.
