Question

18. fine two consecutive odd integers whose sum is 36.

Answer 1

17 and 19

Explanation:

Let n denote the first odd integer.

If the two integers are consecutive and odd, then the second number is n+2.

Hence, n+n+2=36

=2n=34

Divide both sides by 2

=n=17

Therefore, the numbers are 17 and 19.
