Question

The sum of two consecutive odd integers is 96. what is the product of these integers?

Answer 1

Answer:

2303

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smaller of the two odd integers be x.

Then the next odd integer is x + 2.

Since the sum of these 2 integers is 96, we may write x + (x + 2) = 96

Now solving for x we obtain:

2x = 94

x = 47

To find the next value we can subtract 47 from 96, which is 49.

Hence, the required two integers are 47 and 49. Multiplying them, we get a product of 2303.

hope this helps!
