Question

Find two consecutive odd integers whose sum is 168. PLEASE HELP!

Answer 1

Ok so first you want to start off by defining the first number as x. Little tip: a consecutive ODD number will be two apart for the previous odd number. So it would be something like x + 2, x + 4 and so on.

So in this case I would make a key that would look something like this:

1: x
2:x+2

Now we need an equation. We now we need to add number 1 and number two so our equation, would be 2x + 2=168. Then you solve from there.

If you need help with solving this equation you can meeage me!

Answer 2

The answer is 12 and 14
