For this case we have:

x: Let the variable representing the first odd number

x + 2: Let the variable representing the consecutive odd number at x.

According to the statement we have:

x (x + 2) = 63\\x ^ 2 + 2x = 63\\x ^ 2 + 2x-63 = 0

We found the solution by factoring:

We look for two numbers that, when multiplied, result in -63 and when added, result in 2. These numbers are +9 and -7.

9-7 = 2\\9 * (-7) = -63

Thus, we have:

(x + 9) (x-7) = 0

Therefore the solutions are:

x_ {1} = - 9\\x_ {2} = 7

We choose the positive value, so we have:

x = 7\\x + 2 = 7 + 2 = 9

Answer:

The largest number is 9

Employees salary [$}: 30,000, 30,000, 35,000, 35,000, 40,000, 40,000.

CEO Salary: $70,000.

The correct answer is this: BOTH JAN AND MARCY ARE CORRECT.

Jan says the employee average salary is $35,000. This is correct as shown below:

Average employee salary = 30,000 + 30,000 + 35,000 +35,000 + 40,000 + 40,000 / 6 = 210 / 6 =  $35,000.

Marcy says the average salary of all company members is $40,000. This is also true as shown below.

Average salary of all company members = 30,000 + 30,000 +35,000 + 35,000 + 40,000 + 40,000 + 70,000 / 7 = 280 / 7 = $40,000.
