Answer:
The four consecutive odd integers = 15, 17, 19, 21
Step-by-step explanation:
Four consecutive odd integers in Mathematics when x is an integer is given as:
x , x + 2 , x + 4, x + 6
Where:.
First integer = x
Second integer = x + 2
Third integer = x + 4
Fourth integer = x + 6
The sum of the first and fourth is 55 greater than the opposite of the third
Hence :
x + x + 6 = -(x + 4) + 55
x + x+6 = (-x - 4) + 55
2x + 6 = -x + 51
Collect like terms
2x + x = 51 - 6
3x = 45
x = 15
Therefore,
First integer = x = 15
Second integer = x + 2 = 15 + 2 = 17
Third integer = x + 4 = 15 + 4 = 19
Fourth integer = x + 6 = 15 + 6 = 21
The four consecutive odd integers = 15, 17, 19, 21
