Question

The sum of 4 consecutive odd number is 40

Answer 1

7,9,11,13

Explanation:

LET THE ODD NUMBERS BE

X, X+2 , X + 4 , X+6

X + X +2 + X+ 4 + X + 6 = 40

4X + 12 = 40

X + 3 = 10

X = 7

x + 2 = 7 + 2 = 9 <=== the 2nd number is 9

x + 4 = 7 + 4 = 11

x + 6 = 7 + 6 = 13

Hope this helps!!!
