The sum of two consecutive odd numbers is 156 . What are the numbers

Sagot :

You would first write out: x+x+2= 156. Once you've got that, you add the 2 x's together and get: 2x+2=156. Now that you have them together, subtract 2 on both sides and you get: 2x=154. Solve for x by dividing 2 on both sides and you get 77 as x. Now, you would know the 2 numbers, which would be 77 and 79.
I hope this helps. :-)

consecutive odd numbers are represented as
x=first odd
x+2=second odd
and so ono

so the 2 numbers are
x and x+2
so
x+x+2=156
subtract 2 from both sdies
2x=154
divide by 2
x=77


the first number=77
x+2=second number=79

the numbers are 77 and 79
