Question

Find two consecutive odd integers whose sum is 36. Which of the following equations could be used to solve the problem?

Answer 1

Answer:

3. $2x+2=36$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first odd integer = x

Then, the consecutive other odd integer = x+2.

Then, according to the question, we have,

Sum of both the integers = 36.

i.e. $x+x+2=36$

i.e. $2x+2=36$

Thus, the equation to solve the problem is $2x+2=36$.

Hence, option 3 is correct.

Answer 2

Let, the integers are: x, x+2

Them, x + x+ 2 = 36
2x +2 = 36

In short, Your Answer would be Option C
