Question

Find Four constructive odd integers whose sum is 224 what is the largest number

Answer 1

Answer:

53, 55, 57, and 59

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be

x, x +2, x +4, and x+6. Then

x + x+2 + x +4 + x + 6 = 224     Combine like terms

                      4x + 12 = 224     Subtract 12 from each side

                             4x = 212      Divide each side by 4

                               x = 53

The four consecutive integers are 53, 55, 57, and 59.

Check:

53 + 55 + 57 + 59 =224
